Default Ngk Spark Plugs and Wires

So Ive heard Ngk is the best for hondas. As far as plugs and wires. Is there any difference in the NGK normal black wires and the NGK blue wires? Which would be better for my car? Should I just get the standard NGK plugs or the V power plugs? Advanced auto parts has the Ngk black not blue wires for 88$ and Nopi has the Blue for like 60$ Ive read NGK blue wires would those be the best. I dont know if it was just because they looked better or what. Should I get the standard or V pwr plugs? Im trying to get rid of my nology plugs and wires.

vpower plugs are the standard copper plugs.
the other plugs available from NGK for your car are the platinum, laser platinum and iridium plugs.
and unless youor nology wires aredefective somehow i would not bother changing them....i myself am partial to OEM wires though. btw there is also only one part # for the NGK wires for you car as well.

V-Power ZFR5F-11 # 2262
G-Power Platinum ZFR5FGP 7098
Laser Platinum PZFR5F-11 * 4363 0.044
Iridium IX ZFR5FIX-11 2477
Wire Set HE73 9359

I was going by this link on the plugs. Also I have heard the Nology are bad for my car.

This is why Im scared of the nology

NGK=OEM for hondas. Unless your running serious power I would stick with OEM plugs and wires. Because
A: Its cheaper
B: Its guaranteed to fit/work
C: Unless your needing more spark for a stock engine....you have problems, save that extra money on a turbo kit

Just throwing in my 2 pennies

so should I get the Ngk blues 60$ at Nopi or the standard NGk black wires 88$ at advanced. Is the blues cheaper because there a gimmick too because of there look? Or are they the same as the black just with blue on them? Or are the black just better? Or is it that advanced is just overcharging for the wires? They dont even carry the blues. I just dont want to waste money again. I could use it somewhere else.

if the wiresate the parts store are not the same part# as the ones i posted above they are not the right wires.
and i dont know what the page is talking abotu standard. the parts #s i listed are straight off the ngksparkplugs.com website which is the ngk corporate site...ZFR5F-11 is a v-power plug anyway...

Just if your looking to replace parts.....there is a LOT of hype in plugs and wires, granted it works but for hp per your getting ripped off, unless your running something that requires more spark, leave it oem. It will be cheaper and will last about the same as nology-this ngk-that.

i chose the regular ngk wires over oem honda wires cause i like the pretty blue color

definetly stick with ngk coppers unless you have a V6, then get iridiums cause those 3 plugs in the back are bitch to change and they will last longer.
