Its come time for me to change my spark plug wires, spark plugs, and front brake pads on my '05 GP GT2 w/3.8 (no SC).
Its bone stock and my daily driver so Im not looking for race ready stuff but can someone suggest some quality replacement parts for these? If the GM parts are the best then so be it, I just want to make sure I can go the next 100K smoothly (ok, maybe the brake pads wont go that long)
Thanks in advance!

get the autolite iridium plugs. they work much better. not sure about what the difference is between the 103 and 104 is though.

Thanks for the suggestions - seems like pads wont make any difference with the stock model, and same with wires? I only ask about wires since when I had them changed on my Bonneville a few years back within a year 2 of the wires crapped out. Just want to make sure I avoid any cheapo brands which dont last.
Ill get the autolite plugs, seems like enough recommendations that I cant go wrong there.

Stock wires are best. For brake pads that's up to you..I use EBC red pads and I love the bite. Yes get Autolite plugs they're cheap and effective.

Plug wires: Replace with cheap store brand ones. Just as good as GM.
Spark plugs: GM Iridiums, Autolite Iridiums, or NGK Iridiums - whatever's cheapest for you.
Brake Pads: Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramics are cheap, quiet, and bite nice.

Like Slow said, house brand plug wires with lifetime warranty.

Great info - thanks again. While Im replacing stuff, whats the lifespan of the PCV in these things?
05-22-2013
I'll throw this out there: The PCV is $3 and takes five minutes to change. Mine went bad around 65,000, though I didn't know that... at 85,000, I just replaced it and got 3mpg back. And no more annoying whistle (which my mechanic couldn't hear, so he couldn't figure out the problem... silly old man ears).

Ok I got the PCV
Also just a heads up that I got the Autolite Iridium plugs at Autozone and there is a $10 mail in rebate for them right now in case others were thinking about the plugs.
