I will def let you know how well they work. I'm going to be driving a lot this weekend here in KC. Going to have great weather, like 60's! Plan on taking a day trip up to the north side of town, so should get some cruising miles to see how the NGK's perform. I'll let you know in a couple days.

Ha I live in KC. Where you going Cruising to? There isn't too many fun places to cruise around here! The coolest road I have found in this area, is on the other side of Lawrence. It's a small highway (k40) that goes from Lawrence to Topeka on the back side. It's filled with curves and twists, good scenery, and usually just enough of a stretch to drop into vtec. cheers. btw, the Iridiums are definitely good enough to get the job done. I'd say they are pretty equal to the Laser Platinums, just wont last as long as them.

Do you have any links for such spark plug tech?

Look through the FI section and search "spark Plug"

almost everyone unanimously chooses the V-power plugs

There are only two brands of spark plugs that you should EVER use in a Honda:

- NGK
- Denso

You have a number of choices from those two brands: standard copper, platinum, iridium, etc. The only differences are price and longevity - the copper plugs are usually $2-3 each and should be changed every 30,000 miles, while the platinums and iridiums are usually $12-14 each and can go for 105,000 miles. Stick with the stock heat range unless you are using forced induction/nitrous/etc.

The factory plug for an H22A4 will be either an NGK platinum PZFR6F-11 or a Denso platinum PKJ20CR-L11.

Spark plugs will not improve fuel economy unless your old plugs were worn well past their service limit. Don't fall for the sucker marketing of any brand that claims power or efficiency gains over another brand or type of plug; it's all BS.

Cool, another KC Luder! Lately I just been cruizing up and down Metcalf Ave. That seems to be where I se most of the tuners. I haven't ventured out of the city yet.
