i just ordered some NGK platinum spark plugs and some blue NGK Wires

But my question is. is what i got (platinum) better then iridium or is iridium better?

 

I take it you have a D16Y8?

 

yea

 

What upgrades do you have?

 

cars stock. only thing i have coming in the mail is a aem cold air intake

btw its the NGK G-Power Platinum spark plugs

 

Then I would have saved my money and bought the stock stuff.

 

is there gonna be a problem with these spark plugs? i did have enough to buy either one but i went with platinum because i got a good deal 73bucks for the ngk wires and plugs. The iridium spark plugs where i believe 20-25bucks more which i didnt see what the big difference would be but thought id ask what is better and how good are the spark plugs i got for my type of civic

btw are these spark plugs made for cold weather or hot weather?

 

If your OEM wires are not bad or ripped, don't upgrade them. Hondas have really good OEM wires. Go with the iridium plugs, they are better and cheaper, and if you cant justify the cost of iridium plugs, note they will go 100,000 miles.

 

from what i saw on this board the iridium was cheaper but where i went to buy them somewhere else. the iridium where 25bucks more expensive then the platinum ones. im mostly just wanting to no how good are the platinum ones? I wont have any problems with them putting them in a civic like mine will I? it should run fine?

 

platinum are not for performance they are to last longer, get normal ngk's or iridium. If your car burns oil they will foul easier also (I hate platinum)
