    My bad, when I quoted your post, I assumed you meant plugs too, yeah I know Denso don't have wires, just wondering if I go with OEM wires or what you suggested, as for SP I want Denso with Denso coils, just wanted to know what wires to use, sorry for mix up

    Denso or NGK plugs and wires are fine. A lot of Tacoma V6's have NGK plugs in one side and Denso on the other from the factory. When I did my plugs and wires I got Denso plugs from the dealer for $20 and a NGK harness for $50 and about 20k miles later and no problems to report.

    Make sure to gap your plugs too, they claim to be gapped correctly from the dealer but they aren't.

    I got my 1998 T100 SR5 in 2001, it had come off a 3-year lease. It's been fantastically reliable, everything under the hood is original, except for the radiator and expendables like battery, hoses, belts, and plugs. It gets posted for sale tomorrow. I will miss her.
