I need to replace the spark plugs and the brake pads on my 2001 Concorde. What brand should I get? Or should I stick with Mopar parts?
I also need to replace the timing belt (92000 Mi)! How much should I expect to pay the dealer to do the job?
Thanks.
Hawk HPS-type pads work well with these cars. Get the one made to the FMSI D591 spec. - the one they normally list for the LH cars has the wrong retainer on the outboard front pad - it will work, but the retainer doesn't fit qutie right. But the HPS is a good compound. I also just started using Performancd Friction "Z-Rated" pad - so far so good.
Which engine do you have?

3.2L. Thanks.
Just stick with the Champions - they are what came on it, and they are good plugs. Stay away from the Bosch +4 Plats - at least two unrelated incidences of electrodes breaking off on the 300M Enthusiasts forums - one with resulting engine damage. NGK's are supposed to also be good , and were what DC switched over to in later years of LH cars.
