Default Changing spark plugs and wires for GS400

My GS400 is at 76k now, I'm thinking of changing spark plugs and wires, have some questions:

1, Tm or Denso?
2, really need to change the wires?
3, which brand of wires? where to get them?

Thanks!

wires? the 400 doesnt have wires, the coilpacks sit right on the plugs.

Thanks! I never notice that, I only changed plugs and wires for my LS400 long time ago, so I only need to get 8 plugs? how hard to put them in?

If I remember correctly you had to remove some stuff to get access to the plugs. I think there was some stuff blocking access to the coilpacks. But you better look for yourself, I only saw my shop do it once and I am really kind of vague on it.

if i remember right, you have to remove the air box over and turn it over coz' it's blocking something, so that means disconnecting some sensors too.
