Default Ignition + Plugs

i pulled my plugs today, and as i expected, theyre shot......just from wear thankfully........my ? is what brand should i go with......ovbiously OEM is good....but NGK are apparently just a good, as NGK manufactures most sp's for honda.....or so i hear.....i realize that as long as its quality, 9/10 a spark plug is a spark plug....unless uve got an AM ignition....but im just wondering what ya'll would recomend....also, im planning on getting some new OEM wires......cause mine are kinda old and actually have holes in the cap......

NGK coppers or iridiums are my plug of choice.

NGK OEM wires are also pretty good.

honda plugs are just repackaged NGK plugs.

iridiums are good in situations that it's difficult to change the plugs and you don't want to do it every 20k-25k. ie, on V6 Accords where those 3 three plugs are a bitch to get at.

If you arent running tons of power or an ignition system, oem is more than ok. I would say save your dough for other goodies

Ngk oem replacement..around 12 dollar out of door with tax.

get a omp meter and test the resistance in the wire before wasting money on a perfect set of sparkplug wire.(my number one cylinder wire is getting around .10 and the four cylinder around .15 vs .8 for all cylinder wire on my buddy's gsx elcipse with bling bling red aftermarket sparkplugwires.

stock wire also have a good RF interference resistance

check gap and torque the down properly

thanks.....im just gonna go to napa and get some basic NGK, whatever theyve got....and testing the wire first is a good idea....i was just planning on getting oem wires....the reason i want to replace them is they dont seal well....when i washed my engine bay, water got down into the sp housing......and the boots are starting to crack.....

You think if I took out my Nology silverstone plugs and switch to ngk plugs that may help my gas mileage. I just was told to get them for use with the Nology wires
but they may have just told me that to get my money.

Does anyone know anyone who uses these damn things

I use stock OEM plugs just 2 degrees colder and NGK blue wires on my boosted 97

Platnums and the like usually make the car run like **** or they dont last very long, but thats personal experience.
