Default Spark plug wires?

I'm getting ready to change my plugs and wires for the first time. What are your preferences? I've got a "99 coupe.

I just did mine over the weekend and put in AC Delco Platinum plugs and upgraded my wire to MSD 8.5mm......

MSD wires are VERY nice, and with your 99 will be fairly cheap because they are not very long. NGK plugs are nice as well. The LT1 uses NGK TR55's, I have no idea about the LS1.

You said you have a 99? Why are you asking this here, in the C4 section? Your engine is different than ours.

Sorry to get off the topic a bit, but I am contemplating neww wires right now as well and was leaning towards the MSD 8.5mm. My question is will they fit in the stock looms or will I need to buy new ones? Thanks.
