I agree with him. NGK Iridium plugs and wires is the best way to go. Used to have them on my Tacoma.

no that is a waste of money.

for spark plug WIRES, get only oem ones,
they are proven to work better than anything else for your honda.
No matter what "high performance" bullshit propaganda they throw at you.
you're just paying for fruity colored sparkplug wires that dont work as well as stock.

as for spark plugs,
all you need are standard NGK or DENSO plugs,
you do not need any iridium stuff, just get what is recommended in the owners manual.

they should be a few bucks each.

Even if you had some crazy built or FI engine, I would still recommend oem wires, and standard NGK/DENSO plugs (maybe a step colder or something for forced induction).

Holy ****, DONT buy those wires. NGK iridium plugs for 30$. Your OEM wires are great. Comparitively, Honda's stock plug wires are much better than most others. Upgraded wires wont do anything, last any longer, and stock will take the heat of even a turbo'd H22 in your bay's heat. Unless your a drag racer, those wires are pointless. Get the NGK iridium plugs, and they will last like..what, 100,000 miles is it? They are the best, and will help, and wires wont. Plain as that. Hope I helped.

Like everyone here says USE ONLY OEM SPARKWIRES and NGK OR DENSO sparkpugs...

NGK BKR6E-11 is the sparkplug for 1992-2000 DX... stick to it, change them every 10.000 - 15.000 miles (some use them even longer but I am always on the safe side) and you will be more than happy with your car (at least sparkplugs-related)
