Definately do spark plugs. There are as many opinions about plugs as there are people. I use NKGs

I just put my pacesetters on a few weeks ago. I went ahead and put in prothane poly motor mounts while I was at it. Doing the mounts was a pain in the ***, but on the flip side it made the actual header install a piece of cake.. I did a lot of reading and it seemed that a lot of guys do mounts while they're in there, and a few who didn't wished they did.. so I figured with 185k miles it wouldn't be a bad idea. I haven't noticed any increased vibrations or anything from the poly mounts yet either. Also I went with NGK TR55 plugs

I did poly mounts and ngk plugs. If you don't do the motor mounts you will probably wish you did when you get the headers in there

I used energy suspension motor mounts, NGK TR55's and MSD 8.5mm wires. Do the motor mounts while your there. I read about clearance issues from sagging rubber mounts and you dont want to deal with that after the header install. Mine appeared slightly worn with 53k miles in a '95
