Ok, so my best bet for a 1998 GS300 @ 83k miles is to replace them with OEM Denso's? I hear alot of Torquemaster talk and stuff, just want to get the right plug(s), which will be for preventative maintenence...

Owners manual
The owners manual for my 2006 gs 300 says to change the spark plugs at 60k miles yet the most people here say you can go 90-120k. Has something changes with the 06 models?

always follow ur owner's manual
iridium plugs can differ in terms of tip size
0.6mm lasts shorter than 0.8mm tips
for example NGK iridium IX of 0.6mm lasts 60k
OEM NGK iridium lasts 120k
by most users here, do u mean users in this thread or owners of 06 GS?
06 GS is a brand new car than 05 GS

Hey I went to a parts store to get some plugs for my '92 ES300 and the guy said I had to get platinum plugs for the car because that's what's OEM. Does it matter what kind of plug I put in?

Follow what the OEM manual says if not use the Iridium (which is better than platinum) or torquemaster (if they make them for your car).

IS300 Spark Plugs
I have an 03 IS300 with 68,000. The service manual recommends replacing the spark plugs at 60,000. The IS idles smoothly and runs fine but perhaps not quite as "sharp" as it could be on moderate acceleration.
I checked with the Denso website which recommends the SK16R-P11 plug as replacement. Has anyone posted instructions (with photos) for changing plugs on an IS? I removed the engine top plastic cover and most plugs lie under the air intake / throttle body apparatus it seems. Or I am in Richmond, VA - could someone recommend a good shop there?
