Replacing ignition coils, replace plugs too?
I'm planning to replace all 6 ignition coils this weekend. Should I put in new spark plugs since i'm changing the coils? My current platinum NGK plugs only have about 26K miles so they should be in decent shape..but wondering if it's a good practice to change both at the same time.
Does poor coil operation adversely affect the spark plugs?

finished! i decided to go ahead and replace all the plugs with the NGK coppers. it took me about 1 and 30 mins. since this was my first time swapping plugs and coils, i took my time and followed the haynes manual to the letter (applied anti sieze, di-electric compound etc.)
After swapping the coilpacks and plugs, I reset the ECU and my CEL--that has been on for months is finally off. I hardly recognize my gauge cluster lol!
The car is a little choppy since I reset the ECU, but hopefully it won't be long until things are back to normal.

Let me know if you have anymore questions. If you plan to install plugs or coils, check the 4th gen How to sticky (there is a link there to VQpower.com that I used to help me do the removal and installion--it even has pictures which I found very helpful).
