Default A big tune up for first time....need suggestion

I'm tryin to get the iridium IX for my tune up
but I don't know where should I get it
are they all different size ?
I found some at autozone but don't know if they will fit
plus the main concern is the wires
NGK have the wire set and the power cable
wt is the difference ? should I get the power cable ?
or wires like this on ebay

Just get the standard ngk plugs....those plugs that you want suck. Also just the standard ngk wires rock. I think that the other ones are a gimmick. Go to Honda and get a cap/rotor while you are at it.

I wouldn't change the o2 sensor unless it is throwing a code.

go with ngk's they are great. and not expensive at all.
dont change you o2 sensor until it gives out on you. and also, go with stock distributor cap and rotor.

have to jump on band wagon here also....ngk plugs and wires are best. If you're dead set on replacing the o2 sensor, get it from the dealer. It's expensive, but it's oem and there is better quality control. I talked to a gentleman who trains emissions for state of utah, and he said there was a +30% failure rate on o2's from parts stores mainly due to shipping methods alone.

no the spark plugs are not a universal fit. Just go to your local auto store and pick up the plugs. cause if u dont know what to look for they can help ya.
