What would you guys suggest as the best plugs to use for a 94 GXE SOHC?

 

The OEM NGK copper plugs. They are only ~$1.50 each.

 

I just put six in last week.

 

How long do the ngk plugs last? Any recs. for plugs that 60K miles?

 

I suggest using the NGK V-Power plugs, and stay away from platinum plugs in the VG. I think they're only about $2/each.

I discovered a set of them when I had my first major tune-up - not good!

My VG runs fine with the platinums...

But I think people get mixed results running platinums for the VG.

I read in a very old post (when I became a regular a while back...) that the platinum plugs weren't recommended in a VG, the reasoning behind it, I've forgotten, but I can tell you that when I first bought my car, it had platinum plugs in it already, and, of course it ran just fine. After I had my first major tune-up, though, and changed plugs, I could tell an almost immediate difference, since nothing else was really done to the car except for changing the plugs.

I don't know if that information is still available, or if anyone else knows why the platinum plugs aren't recommended in the VG. I'm just going by the advice I remember getting from here, and it's worked pretty well in my case.
