Re: (DSBP1)
.....did you mean you're looking for spark plug WIRES? Because that's what the links go to. In that case, are your OEM ones burned out or messed up in any way? If not, I'd suggest against wasting your money on these. You'll find spark plug wires mentioned SEVERAL times in the "What's the worst MOD you've ever done to your car" thread. IMO, save your money for other, more useful things.

Re: (DSBP1)
Listen to what the guy said above you, those are wires not plugs. Just go to the local auto parts store and buy the cheapest ones. And guess what? You dont have to wait for them to be shipped. If you want them because they are not black, spray paint them....

Re: (DSBP1)
Dude, you keep giving us links to plug wires. Those don't work on your car anyway.
Spark plugs look like this
Here is what you need:
http://www.sparkplugs.com/resu...68725
Go to the bottom. NGK V-Power ZFR5F-11. Those are OEM Honda Civic DX spark plugs. You should be able to get them at any Autozone or any retail automotive parts stores. They should be no more than $2.50 a piece.
DO NOT BUY SPARK PLUG WIRES FROM EBAY. Time and time again, dyno tests after dyno tests have shown that no aftermarket spark plug wires perform any better than Genuine OEM Honda wires. Some even rob you of HP. Stay away, go to autozone, get the plugs I recommended. Don't waste your money.

No, just overkill and you didn't gain anything from getting expensive spark plugs. Don't worry, we all do it once.
I realized paying $50 for spark plugs was a dumb idea fast.

Re: (DSBP1)
OEM is superior for your little DX engine, I suggest you get the OEM replacements from your local autoparts store. Enjoy the instant gratification of buying one of the few auto parts you can over the counter with no shipping involved.
EDIT: Yes, I went through my NGK expensive-*** Iridiums once too. It's necessary I think to make a few mistakes on your own, or else you won't learn anything.

You need #5 if you need wires. That's what I suggest. They are $46.
