Default Buying Parts - whatcha Think???

Hey all,
I am curious if anyone has experiences with any of the following products.... or could possibly recommend something else.
I am not looking so much as for performance as for quality, BUT if you happen to know of a HiPo that would be better and for the same cash..... well.....

front hub/bearing assembly - Timkin
platinum spark plugs - Bosch O.E. Type
ignition wires - Taylor 8mm, B&B 8mm, Bosch 09017 Premium
rear springs (replacing the bags and compressor) - OEM Springs, Touring Tech, Arnott Set
lifting setup - McBay Performance, Supreme Suspensions (keys in front and spacers in back - additional question: with a 3 inch lift will I require longer shocks? I heard no from other forum members, but I want to make sure since the ad says yes)
belt tensioner - ??? OEM, Dayco, AC Delco, Dorman..... ???
air filter - OEM, Fram, Wix

Whatcha think?
Thanks in advance

I would stick with AC Delco(OEM) spark plugs and wires.
Lots of stories around here of others being problematic..I replaced mine due to bad idle at 85K and they were bosch giving me the problems, someone before me had removed ac delco ones..


Thanks,

Gates is not a weird brand. They make some of the best belts and hoses you can buy,
