Default Spark Plug and Ignition Wire Change

I drive a 95 Golf III GL. It has everything stock in it including the 2.0 motor. I want to do a spark plug and ignition wire change but i have absolutely no idea where to start when it comes to both parts and installation. First off i want some performance parts so i can gain some hp out of changing it. And for installation i need some detailed diagrams as to how to take it all apart and put it back together considering i'm a complete newbie at car repairs. Thanks for any help.

If the engine is stock, changing the plugs and wires to
hot stuff wont increase anything, but it will decrease
your wallet. Performance plugs and wires will help if you
have increased the rest of the engine.

To make the engine run correct, you need to purchase
the correct products for the engine, The factory brand and
spark plug heat range should be used. The plug wires will
have a certain OHM or Resistance that needs to be matched for the new wires, so it's hard to beat the factory
wires. If you use an incorrect heat range plug and it happens to be too hot, you could burn a hole in a piston.
Incorrect plug wires could cause static on your stereo
system and interfear with the computer system that runs
the engine. If you go with the hot aftermarket stuff and
the rest of the engine isn't hopped up to match the
goodies you just goofed up. When you start hopping
up for more power one thing calls for another to make things work, and it's a never ending thing.
