Porsche Crest Spark plug wires, cap, rotor, plugs.

After 9 years, is it time for new? 1984 NA daily driver (spring to fall, no winter). I have Bosch 7mm Silicone High Temperature wires and Bosch cap and rotor, car runs fine, getting average 25-26 MPG driven normally. Should I replace everything being 9 plus years old and if so what brand you recommend?

maybe worth changing the plugs (i prefer NGK BPR6ES but others like Bosch equivalent)

if the rotor isn't worn down i'd leave the cap, rotor and wires alone.
i've been using the same cap/rotor since 2006 and am still using the original from 1984 plug wires, they haven't given me issues yet.

Rotor bug's bakelite and fragile with age..if it truly isn't broke, don't fix it..the set screws a PITA , especially for old folks like me..(dammit, I heard it hit..right down there!!)
