Recommendations? 2001 Concorde.
 

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?

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.
