Default Recommended brand for cap/rotor/plugs/plug wires?

I know this will mostly be a matter of personal opinion but I'm curious to see what the favored is.

It's about time for me to replace the cap/rotor and plugs/wires. My car is a daily driver with i/h/e.

Opinions?

Plugs/wires definitely NGK

Cap/Rotor you can go to your local parts store or get it from Honda, they arent that expensive.

OEM, I've had trouble with any type of aftermarket ignition equipment on my car.

I have heard some good things about NGK wires though.

NGK for plugs. Everything else OEM. Why waste money when you don't have to?

Im Running MSD set up on my car and I change the cap (MSD cap) every 15k miles... But on my gf car (stock LS) I change everything Genuine Honda parts... So I would recommend stock cap/rotor/plugs/ and wires...

haa haa yea they actual work great on domestic v8's but for puny 4 bangers they suck *** and will arc your spark wires after awhile which will lead you to find out why your idle is so off. could it by my iac valve? could it be my cap and rotor? could it be my ignitor? could it be my vacuum line?

but if you have time to waste trying to find out the idle problem then go ahead and use the platinums..

theres even a huge thread on the two spark plugs ngk or platinums.

stock Honda ignition is one of the best...use nothing but OEM parts, especially with a mostly stock engine
