Default Spark Plugs for GSR MOTOR

its about that time...i need plugs...my boy who sold me the car is tellin me that platinum plugs arent good for vtec engines. so i go to the auto parts store and ask the guy just to see what it comes with and he says bosch platinums? wtf.

if you look at my setup its a stock 99 GSR Motor with MSD

whats your guys opinions on plugs? and is it true the platinum plugs arent good for vtec engines?

Drive to nearest Honda dealership, say "I want spark plugs for my b16/17awhatever." Hand man money, go home, replace said spark plugs.

For you application, just get some NGK copper plugs and call it a day. $2 a piece for the plugs and your MSD on your stock GSR motor is doing virtually nothing.

If you got some cash laying around, buy some platinum plugs. With your setup, you won't feel much of a difference either way.
