Gen 1 LS400 Question

I just purchased a fine 91 LS400 w/ 80K miles and I'm looking at doing some basic maintenance. I plan on flushing the brake fluid and changing the rear diff fluid. As for plugs and wires: is it better to use Lexus parts from the dealer or is there a "better" aftermarket product which I should use ?? Thanks guys.

There are definitely better plugs and wires than OEM. But if you're not sure, OEM would be the safest choice, albeit also the more expensive choice. Try and find NGK wires...as for plugs, NGK or Denso iridium would be my choice

Personally, when it comes to wires, id stick with OEM, they have a much better fit than aftermarket. As for plugs, OEM work great, but if you want a little upgrade, id go with a set of NGK Iridium plugs.
