Bosch Platinum +4's are absolute garbage. We get customers that bring their cars in and can't figure out why it's running like garbage, and it's because of those. They might work well in some cars, but they dont' work well in Hondas.

Do not buy that garbage.

I have bosch platinum +4 too, just installed them last week. I think there was improvement on the low end torque or my old plugs are too f*cked up so my car felt better. The idling did got rough especially during cold starts.

I just had a full tank yesterday and will see if there was improvement on the fuel consumption.

Those plugs are the worst I have ever tried, this is from first hand experience, horrible product, but I don't feel like writing the story, its a long one.

I went from Bosh platinum 2s to regular NGK copper core plugs and noticed a BIG difference.

bosch makes good parts, just not for most imports. They specialized in european cars like ngk specializes in Japanese imports. If you had a cavalier and tried running ngk plugs in it...it would run like **** too. Just go back with oem plugs and save yourself the hassle

I don't know when will people learn...

With Honda use ONLY NGK sparkplugs... no bosch, no champion, no beru no other ****... that **** is for german cars... like Opel and Volkswagen...

for Christs sake, even BMW M3 CSL comes originally with NGK plugs... do you need more???

Audi S4 comes with NGK plugs... every manufacturer that means something in the world of cars uses NGK... Honda is one of them

Denso is your second choice... but that's it... NGK or Denso all the way...

This reminds me that once uppon a time my friend bought a '91 Civic... It ran on Motorkraft sparkplugs (OEM for Ford)... the car was like **** all over... we changed it to regular NGK and the car SMILED...

So how stupd must a man be to put in Fords sparkplugs into Honda???
