Do a search on google bro. You have to learn to do some things on your own.

Hondaautomotiveparts.com OR Hondadiscountparts.com

I would only use MSD if I did the whole setup (Ignition, Cap, Rotor, Coil, Wires). Do it all at once, and Bam..done.

But to be honest, nothing really beats NGK

OEM because they don't pop off like so many aftermarket ones.

Honda dealership? They will charge you out the ******* for wires. Check those two sites i gave you in the above post, and they should definitely be cheaper. At least they were compared to my Honda Dealer.

ngk will run you like 50 if i remember right for wires. They made my car start a lot better during our freezing winters here in canada. Also get their plugs while your at it. Oh, and make sure to not unplug all the wires at once like i did....good luck bro
