Default What spark plugs for an LS (Since search is disabled...)

What is the best spark plug and wire combo for a 96 Acura Integra I was thinking NGK but Im not sure. Does anybody have any opinions or stories about other brands before I go and buy some NGK's

NGK wires and NGK V-power copper plugs. Look up the correct part number on www.ngksparkplugs.com for an LS as it is NOT the same plugs that GS-R's use. Reliable parts for a good price.

Also, thread title changed to be more descriptive. Please use thread titles that accurately describe the contents of your thread.

Both of these are examples of wasting money.

While I suggest V-powers and use them myself, due to their low cost and ease of replacement (platinum and iridium plugs are a waste of money on an Integra IMHO), changing V-powers every 3K miles is also a huge waste of money. V-power plugs have a copper core (better electrical conductor than platinum or iridium), but they can and will last 10K-15K miles. There is absolutely no need to change them every 3K miles.

I've been using BKR6E-11 V-power plugs in my GS-R since around 2001/2002, for the past 170K+ miles. I change them every 10K-15K miles and have had no problems. I used to change them about twice a year when I drove tons of miles, but lately I only change them about once a year. I couldn't imagine changing them every 1-2 months.

BTW as I stated above, the BKR6E-11 is the correct V-power plug for a GS-R, but is NOT correct for non-VTEC B-series engines.
