Default spark plugs
I wanted to know the ups and downs of changing my spark plugs from the stock ones to bosch platinum +4. would it be a good or bad move?

From my past experiences, the Boschs suck at high rpm. Stick with the NGKs. They're cheaper and perform better.

NGKs are OEM brand spark plugs. Stick with them!

NGK Model No# BKR6E-11 for the lazy people. Only plug I'll run until i'm boosted, then im going to the 7E-11. I changed from Denso Iridiums to 6E-11's, NGK's felt a lot better.

The +4's are a waste of money, especially if you are mostly stock.

Echo:

NGK or Denso only, since that's all Honda uses from the factory.

I run the stock NGKs in my B18C5.
