Co worker's son here has a '94 SSEi that needs a tuneup. Just looking for brand recommendations for the following:

Plugs:
Plug Wires:
Fuel Filter:
Air Filter:
Any other maintenance I missed?


He is getting the oil pan (bad leak) and a rear shock (also leaking) replaced at a shop, but the above list are things he would be able to do himself for MUCH less that quoted by the shop. Just want to make sure he gets decent parts. Don't need high end stuff, since this car isn't modded, and likely never will be.

Champion plugs work great as well. I've been opposing Autolites lately... I bought some and they were garbage, and looked on the box to see "MADE IN CHINA" Some Autolites are still made here, but most have moved production to China.
