Pretty close, the caps are about $80 ea, rotors $45, and the wires are expensive also

Sure you need wire sets? Do caps/rotors/plugs then see how you are running.

I too would wait on the wires. The OEM wires are high quality and usually last a long time. You will spend enough on the cap and rotor!

I'd just clean and gap my plugs and see what difference that makes. Then order parts as necessary. Older motors get oil fouled plugs from the worn valve guides.

The rotor does wear down, though - cleaning it will just increase the gap.
