Yes, you can keep the stock coil and wires with the upgraded pulley and IK 22 plugs.

No problemo.

Yea, the heat range of the plug doesn't effect the wires. It's just the amount of the electrode that is exposed. Colder plugs expose less of the electrode so there is less chance of pre detonation.

does anyone know how long those densos last? I've heard 10K - but that seems really short life span.

i had my IK22 in for about 10 months & about 10k miles. Run monthly autocross, about 6-8 track days, few driving schools. Plug tips looked a bit worn when compared to new ones- installed new IK22 & seemed to run & idle a bit smoother.
