BKR5E-11. I don't know about advanced autoparts, but I know you can get them at Kragen. The NGK's do not need to be gapped, but you should always recheck the gap to be 0.44mm I believe.

ngk's needs to be gapped. they come from factory pre-gapped, but that doesnt mean they could be out of spec from shipping/ box dropping. the range is from .39 to .43 not .44mm

The Haynes manual that I am reading right now says that for 93 and 94 models, the gap is between .039 and .043, but for 95 and later, it shuold be .043; which is what I used when I got my new plugs.
