What mileage are you at currently? No use changing things if they don't need to be. Any problems/misfires?

Im at 70k not sure what has been done to car for maintenance wise. Idles little rough not much. Just thought wont be bad to change it to be on safe side? Only mods are, intake, exhaust, manifold, suspension and thats bout it. Car was just recently bought last yr but due to my travel schedule just got home and want to do some work on it.

ive got 165k on my stock plug wires and i change the plugs at every oil change or every other oil change. cuz i work my evo pretty hard sometimes. (race) ive been running NGK BPR7ES for the entire life of ther car. they are like 11.00 dollars and i get them at meyers or ever autozone carries them. they are a copper core type of plug and you should replace them like i do. they are cheap enough. good luck

Nice, thx for info. So just use my stock plug wires and just change plugs? Will try it out. I'll order them tomorrow. There other things I want to do to it but in time. Just need to work on suspension, what you recomend on shocks? I have the HKS full coil over kit, going to put it on our lift tomorrow and chk it out. I just order new ceramic brake pads for it.

If you've got a rough idle, I'd make sure you have stock cams before you go trying to fix a rough idle issue.
