Default Tune up reccommended?

Whats up guys? Looking into doing a tune up on my 99 WS6. It currently has 29k miles, which i bought it at 26k. I figure it still has stock plugs and wires, so i was wondering what parts to get and where to get them? I have heard many people say that the NGK TR55's are the plugs to get, but what else? All info is appreciated.
Thanks!

Probably not needed unless you just want something
to do. I've heard of bad gapping from the factory so
it may be good for something.
I've also read a few posts saying NGK's won't last 20k
and others say stick with factory wires.

Just do a plug change and a fuel filter change...go with NGK TR'55s gapped at .050. I think that should be all that I would even think about doing with <50k on the clock...Good Luck

Why change the plugs when they last up to a 100k miles. Just change all the fluids, fuel filter, and maybe bleed your brakes. Belts may be a good idea too.

I'd wait until the 100,000 mile mark for the plug change. Why waste your money?
