What plug wires to get?
So I'm going to be replacing the spark plug and wires soon. While I'm in there, I'm going to go ahead and change the distributor caps and rotors since the previous owner doesn't remember when they were last replaced.
I am pretty sure that OEM replacement is the way to go but I also wanted a second opinion from everyone here. I heard about Vitek plug wires and how they have a much lower resistance than OEM. What wires do you all recommend? Also, are there any good OEM alternative for the distributor caps and rotors?

I don't know how true that claim is with the Vitek wires, but there is a Japanese company that is pretty highly rated. Ultra. They are like the Japanese version of MSD Ignitions. I have their blue wires.
I use OEM Toyota cap and rotor, and for plugs I use Denso Iridiums IK-16s
If you're curious about the Ultra's, I'm having a hard time finding their Japanese site right now, but they should still be listed on RHDJapan.com. That's where I ordered them from.

Thanks for reminding me. If anyone is interested, RHDJapan seems to be the go-to for Ultra parts
I also have the Blue Power wires on my IS300
This is Ultra's website. It's best to use Chome and translate it.
