Stock. I think Hondas use NGK, not sure.

stock spark plug wire and plugs are the best, hands down

Those expensive spark plugs called Denso Iridium or something(don't know if they're any good though, but they better be if you're gonna pay like 35-40 bucks a set) and some NGK wires should be cool.

Denso is good, but only lasts about 10k or actually depends on your setup. I had it in my acura, starts to fade out towards 8k range. Good sparks, but I prefer NGK. I use NGK BCPR7ES -11 on my turbo setup in my teg, but I'm running turbo and gapping those plugs around 0.030-0.032. These run about around $2.00 each at my cost, think retail was around $4.00 each.

Thanks,
Jay

gapping is important, make sure the plugs are gapped to the right spec for your motor.

most people run the copper ngk plugs (have to replace them sooner), and stock wires are just about the best out there (espcially for the money).

my next set of plugs will be Silverstone plugs...want to give them a run.
