i have a 92 accord and it needs new wires. what brand would you recommend and what size???

 

Get Crane Cams spark plug wires for dirt cheap at optauto.com. Look in the clearance section there. If shopping elsewhere or want different brands, get MSD 8.5 mm wires.

Hell yeah, thats what I'm sportin... They're really nice and thick as hell (11.5mm) and discontinued, so if that site still has some, get them!

 

NGK or OEM

nopi.com sells them pretty cheap. $35 ones are for LX/DX accords, EX wires cost ~$55-60.

 

so since i have an EX model it will cost more for wires. about what size should i go with??

 

another thing what kind of cap and rotor should i get?? some guy that works on Honda's said that i should replace that because mine had some corrosion and stuff on it and wasn't firing completely right.

oem - cap and rotor - fairly inexpensive ~$30 i think, dont remember
oem - sumitomo wires - about $60

 

stick with stock wires

 

why should i stick with stock wires??? the ones on that one site would be cheaper than stock ones. (the ones on the site were 24.99, but they were 11mm)

 

i got those crane cam ones from optauto

because you will never get the quality of a oem or a ngk wire from a aftermarket company .... people have dynoed their cars with aftermarket wires and with oem wires and saw no gains when using the aftermarket wires

the size of the wire is just the protective heat resistant coating, not the actual wire itself. NGKs are 8mm which is a tad thicker than stock and is all you need. i like NGK over the OEM ones cause they blue looks nice. there are alot of cheap generic junk wires out there and alot of overpriced gimmicks.

 

well if the wires are cheaper than oem should i go with them because its not like i am going for better performence just better than the crappy ones that are on there cause they are old.

 

why not just get the oem or ngk wires that will last you 7-8 years rather then buy a set that will last 2 years?

 

Honestly I would stick with oem (which is ngk )because you're not only going to not really notice any performance increase going from a 7mm oem wire to a 8.5mm wire unless you're running serious power and or a upgraded ignition.

That's a real good deal if it comes with installation.

 

it doesn't come with installation but i figured it was a good deal cause that is a discounted price from some friends at o'reillys.
