use NGK plugs and Bosch wires

Really good of both

You won't see any hp increases by putting in super spark plugs

no plugs or wires is going to make a HP gain in your stock engine

I would prefer OEM but it does matter on what your plans are for your EX.
Are you going for show, JDM accesories, or race?
IMO just go with NGK plugs and wires or even Denso.
If Youre going with a whole ignition system, then you might want to go with MSD, such as wires, dist. cap, ignition system, etc.......$.02

Word.

Stock wires because they don't pop off, and I use NGK plugs, 1 step colder for my turbo setup.

Bet you're making mad whp in your car. Not to be a dick, but you will learn that the money you dropped on those parts was useless.
On the wires/plugs issue: stay stock, you don't see any whp gain with wires. And with your F&F mods, stay oem.

Save your money and get a part that will actually increase HP.

For Plugs I use nothing but NGK, Denso and other Denso OEM plugs tip tend to fall/drop when get too hot. i didnt experienced this but there are a couple people I know happened to them. it might be a single case but still.

Again, this only apply to heavily mod engines.

For a stock like yours, i would say just get NGK platinums. they works great and last way longer than every Ir. plugs. even NGK's own Ir.X

Im with the VX in daily driven and changed to Ir.x 8 in track when it keeps hitting 9500rpm.

NGK plug wires and NGK Iridiums. Stay away from Bosch and Denso IMO. The plug wires mad eby NGK are just a good replacement, nothing more. People are totally misled, when they try to add HP by modding the ignition components. Even MSD SCI modules and Blaster Coils are pretty much uneccessary since most Hondas make 650 whp on stock ignition components. I'd say go internals, but building a head would be more down time, and a lot more money.

I always use ngk plugas and wires in all hondas. If you car is daily driven more the likely oem/ngk are more than capable of the task. N/a or boosted.

Magnecor are actually the best on the market. They're worth the cost because you never have to replace them. They are more benefits to them, but it doesn't apply to you unless you have a sensitive audio system or you have a sensitive programmable ECU or datalogger. Very overkill, but like I said, they last forever so they eventually pay for themselves.

OEM are okay, NGK are better. Everything else is questionable at best.

You don't need to upgrade the factory ignition system unless you increase compression a great deal or if you are running forced induction. Most aftermarket ignition components are actually worse than stock. Nology is one of them.
