should i go to kragen or napa? which brand should i get? a lot say oem...but is oem more expensive than the other ones napa or kragen sell? is there a difference between the oem and the auto store one? how much does the oem run and how much does the kragen/napa ones run???

 

I just bought OEM from acuraautomotiveparts.org It actually turned out to be the same price or cheaper than what some of the automotive stores were charging. I want to say about 10 for the rotor and 15-20 for the cap.

 

Go with OEM instead bro....

 

I have just purchased the MSD dis. Cap with the ext. coil tower and a blaster ss coil. for new plugs, ngk plug wires, and the cap, and coil, cost me about $140 from inlinefour.com

that's not bad.... i thought it was gonna be $50+ from the dealer. i just thought auto store is almost equivalent to the OEM...i guess i'm gonna get the oem one from AAP.org

 

an OEM cap/rotor isn't expensive at all.

I once purchased a cap from pep boys....it just did not fit right. Spent a couple extra bucks and went OEM.

 

BTW... what do i need exactly??

just #3 & #2??

WOW .......I never knew about that site.......man I wish I had know about it a looooooooong time ago!

son of a gun

 

ive got an ls cap for sale... not oem tho

 

dang whats all this about go OEM i mean someone said they payed $45 from honda and i went to a local parts stored and payed $25 for mine. anyway most of the parts that are "OEM" are acually aftermarket you just pay more because its from honda

just go to an auto store and get them, they all work the same.
some believe in spending the money to go oem, and some dont .
to each thier own

How hard is it to install these yourself? I'm thinking to get everything replaced...

Its a very simple install.

I've gone through 2 sets of Bosch Cap &Rotors and havent had any problems.

Ehh I couldn't find anything.

I couldn't see any bolt that holds the rotor either...I have to replace it tomorrow or no driving for me

 

i use YEK made in japan stuff
works wonders

 

I always stick with oem parts

 

Its a screw, and you have to make sure the rotor is at the right angle so you can get to it. With the cap off, crank the car a couple times. Look for it. Not there, repeat. Trial and error.

This screw can sometimes be finnicky, so be firm when removing it, dont strip it.

 

It's weird cause since last night when I tried to clean the rotor & the cap, after I put it back together, the rotor would start turning realllly slow and just dies on me.

Now with the cap off, the rotor doesn't even want to turn when I turn on the engine Did I break it???

 

Are you sure its in properly? This is the new rotor that wont turn?
