Default spark plugs

I have a virgin B16A (stock)

Does it matter if I get bosch or NGK platinum spark plugs and wires? Would it make any difference..?

I'd go with V-POWER from NGK unless you have a ton of mods or are turbo'd, super-charged, etc...

Regular $2 NGK copper plugs are perfectly fine.

NGK all the way. Don't use Bosch on a honda, have heard very bad things from peolpe with bad experiences. Use the ones that are OEM NGK.

what about wires? I can get OEM wires for 35 or Performance NGK wires for like 65

Does it make a difference?

Sorry this is my first time changing my wires/plugs since I got the swap. Not sure what works best.

Yea just get cheap NGK's

I got Bosch's when I first got my car, thinking ooh they're expensive they gotta be good. Ran like ****, bogs and sputters. NGK's fixed it, runs a lot better.

If you can get OEM wires from Honda for 35 bucks get me some too. Use the ones that are OEM, but dont use Autozone stuff, just get them from the dealer if possible. I personally use the blue NGK wires or OEM Honda when i change mine.
