is this accel tune-up kit a good value?

http://m.summitracing.com/parts/acc-hst2

I'm just wondering if this kit is worthwhile, or if I should just head to a local auto parts store and get cheap spark plug wires and dist rotor/cap separately. A friend told me accel spark plug wires have very low residence compared to some other brands... What do you guys think?

My car is a stock 1994 accord lx that has not seen any love in quite a long time...

Summitomo wire set from Honda, or the NGK set from Rockauto.

Most, if not all, aftermarket wires do not fit into the spark plug wells correctly.

So should I just get 4 wires, dist cap+rotor, or do I need any hardware of any kind? What about spark plug tube seals or dist cap gasket or any of the other items on this page: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca....google.com%2B

They only have NGK wire sets, not dist caps/rotors... Which brand would you recommend for the latter? How about this set: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...805&cc=1167263 ?

Also, any suggestions for spark plugs? Brand/specs and how much to torque em?

Thanks for the assistance guys, I really appreciate it.
