Default Thoughts and opinions on a "tune up kit"

I was just wondering what you guys thought of something like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-2000-Honda-Civic-CX-DX-LX-EX-1-6L-Tune-Up-Kit-NGK-V-Power-Plugs-2-/251450935612?fits=Year%3A1998%7CMake%3AHonda%7CModel%3ACivic&hash=item3a8ba4c93c&vxp=mtr
Worthit? How big of a difference will I see? ... Things of that nature.

My car is a 1998 Honda Civic DX Coupe.

Thanks!

Looks to me like a pretty solid kit. Not the usual auto parts store brand crappy kits.

Should get a year to two out of it indeed.

Same parts, minus the fuel filter, are $121 from Majestic. Same parts, including a Bosch fuel filter, ~$105 from Advance Auto (with discount code retailmenot124), free shipping. Looks like a good deal to me.

a year or two? lol. That's rounding down Id say. I guess it depends on your driving habits. I barely hit 8-10k a year though.

Kit looks fine. NGK wires are $50/themselves. The only thing Im leary about is I just read that 50% of all NGK wires on ebay are fake, plagued like recaro seats. I dont have a link to that, but Im sure you can google search it. On that accord Id prefer to pay 10-20% premium and buy from a retailer (rockauto/advance etc) for piece of mind. If you search, you can find a post about a month ago from a member who's NGK wires fell apart in a few months.
With that being said, the seller posted looks legit, and the parts all look good- OEM filter etc.....
