Question 94 LS400 Spark Plug Wires & Spark Plugs?

I am getting ready to change out the spark plugs and spark plug wires on my 94 LS400. Was checking in Ebay and found the following set for $179.00, which includes distributor caps and rotors:

Can anyone give me any advice, good or bad on NGK ingnition wires, NGK G-Platinum sparks, Bosch Distributor caps or YEC Rotors? Thanks and would like any suggestions. Have not changed sparks, wires, dist or rotors in 150,000 miles. Now have 333,500 miles on the car.

Complete Tune-up Kit for Lexus LS400 and SC400

Included in Kit:

1 NGK high performance ignition wire set
8 NGK G-Platinum Spark Plugs
2 BOSCH Distributor caps
2 YEC Ignition rotors

This will fit:
1990 to 1997 Lexus LS400
1992 to 1997 Lexus SC400

I run NGK wires & have had no problems.
This kit looks good to me. Good price too!

what's the part number on the plugs? the stock equivalent plugs are ~$7-8/each...at LEAST.

i run copper plugs , better spark, but MUCH reduced life. can you say, 10-15k mi spark plug swaps? lol

NGK are probably the best oem-replacement aftermarket for your application.

Thanks PD. I've emailed the seller with request for SP# but haven't gotten it back yet. I'll post when he sends it back. Seems as though the full set has fairly high quality parts, except someone made neg. comment about Bosch, but the wires weren't Bosch, it is the Dist Caps that are Bosch and haven't heard anything neg. about those; any thoughts?

I figure if I'm gonna put new sparks and wires in, it probably would be a good idea to put in new dist caps & rotors, right?

Thanks for the suggestions

My OEM wires were Sumitomo.
I use NGK #6403, TE132 (they are indeed blue!)
Current price at Rock Auto is $85.97

Denso part # 671-8143 for 90-94LS models
$76.00 at Rock Auto
94LS

I find that when I search for my needed part by it's number I generally find
better prices than with a "LS400 Ignition wire" search.
