Unless supercharged I'd stick to LGS plugs which are rated at 50k miles.
I see! I didn't realize LGS didn't use silver. I heard that NGK rutheniums (that have a shorter than OEM gap) are good as well.

Recent photo of the car. Can't believe it's 15 years old! Looks new and with the mods drives better than new! Thinking about getting the RR Racing Ultimate Crank Pully Damper and pulley combo next. May also consider the OS Giken LSD down the road as well.

How are you liking the RR Coilovers? How are they holding up? What spring rates did you go with?

So far so good but as you can probably tell I don't put that many miles on the car and I have not been to a track in several years. With that said they are perfectly fine for street duty and I haven't really played around with the settings on them. I'm at 3 clicks under max at all 4 corners and the car rides firm but not too harsh. I may try lower to see if I can feel a difference in the future. As for spring rates I'm pretty sure they are the standard (16kg) Front & (14kg) Rear.

Replaced my 2019 Prius Prime daily driver today with a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance! I finally have a 10 second car!!! Picked it up this afternoon and have been driving it around and love it. Super super quiet, FAST and the tech is unreal.

Replaced my almost 9 year old Michelin PS4 S's with some new ones today. Still running 275/30/19 in the rear but sized up in the front to 255/35/19's.

Nice man! Welcome to Lexus! I hadn't been a fan of Nissan since the 90's LOL ...only exception maybe is the GT-R.

After 17 years of ownership I parted with the IS-F today. Actually sold it back to the dealership that I purchased it from. I'm not a car collector and I have no need to keep it stored at home undriven while paying to keep it insured and maintained. Someone is going to be very lucky to get it!
