Default plug wire question

im not getting spark in my car, and have checked everythign and am running out of ideas. i noticed my spark plug wires arent all the same length, and one seems to have a n extra bit of rubber on it, it could be normal but i wanted to check with you guys. they are y8 plug wires i believe (bought them a long time ago).



#1 has an extra bit of rubber on the end, and #1,2,3 are all the same length. #4 however is a bit longer, hard to tell with the pic, but believe me it is. is this normal? im only bringing this up becuase it seemed as if one of the plugs, the one with the extra rubber, didnt go all the way down when i push it in.

also are y8 and z6 plugs interchangable?

don't mess around,
get new plugs.
those look like aftermarket anyways,

you're only stepping down if you don't get oem honda for ignition.. unless ur running like 900whp or some ****

go to honda and get the right plugs for your car,
try that.
if it's just a stock motor or something though, you could probably get away with autoparts brand plugs.. as the honda ones are pretty expensivo

theres also hondaautomotiveparts.com

they could have given you the wrong part,
or they could be falling apart or something,
who knows

either way they're not supposed to be like that
