Best tune up kit for a 1993 240? 200 1993

I'm having some starting problems with my '93 240. Since I'm a few thousand miles away from the scheduled replacement of spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor I thought I'd do a tune up first, then troubleshoot if the problem isn't resolved.

Any tips or suggestions for the best tuneup kit (or combination of parts)?

PLUGS: I put Bosch Platinum +4's in my 1984 240 a few years back, and they (or the new wires, or both?) caused a noticeable improvement in "pep". In fact, it's a ton faster than my '93 off the line. Unless there's a reason not too with this newer engine, I'll go with those again.

WIRES: Bosch, Bougicord, something else?

CAP & ROTOR: Bosch?
