Get BOSCH Platinum +4 plugs. I noticed improved performance from them I put them in over 10k miles ago. Took one out a few days ago for inspection. Looked great. If your engine runs well ( not burning oil or running rich/lean) these plugs will probably outlast your ride! Well worht the extra few bucks!

Wait, don't you have a VE? There're no traditional spark plug wires for our car, only the OEM wires going from the 6 ignition coils to the crank sensor (I think). AFAIK, no one makes any performance wires like there is for regular ignition systems. One guy says he dressed them up in red tape, which might not be so crazy since they're all wrapped in tape or something anyway.
They might be expensive so I would just test them first before deciding to replace them.

You can check the ignition coils instead of the wires. I just did this last weekend in anticipation of my inspection (don't want to fail emissions, and I was bored). My Chiltons told me that the resistance across them should be about 0.8 Ohms, and mine were all 1.0 or 1.1 Ohms, which seems good to me since the multimeter I used wasn't good down to milliohms. Anything really high and you should probably replace the coil, though they are kinda pricy ($60 or so each). Also, maybe replace the PCV valve too if it hasn't been done lately.
