NGK Wires are they worth the $$$?
Im looking to buy new spark plug wires and people have been recommending the NGKs. I found them for $160 on JDM spec performance, is this a good price? Or do any of yall know a cheaper site to buy them off of. If these aren't worth it or if you guys recommend another brand please tell me.....TIA.....

Try looking for wires on http://www.partspalace.com. They carry the NGKs and a couple other brands at the lowest prices I've ever seen. Free shipping if your order is over $50.

I wouldn't pay $160 for plug wires. I paid $60 for MSD wires and I still complain about the price. oem wires are good unless you're making some serious hp. just my .02

For vtec engines they charge $46

Depends on your application. If youre boosting, i'd go with something better...
Otherwise, get the OEM's. You wont feel a difference with NGK's or anything else if your car is at stock. Plenty of acura parts online if you do a search.

Even with boost, the stock wires are pretty sufficient for most applications.
Unless youve got some insane track beast, stock or NGK will do fine. The $160 NGKs are the JDM NGK power cables...forget that, just get the $50 NGKs or stocks.

There was actually an article about this on the net somewhere (Temple of Vtec??) Where they actually did a test and found the OEM wires to match or outperform aftermarket plug wires.
I would just go with OEM.

Larger plug wires are not going to help your rich problem. You need something to tune the A/F ratio like a Hondata. So, get OEM wires and put the rest of the money towards that Hondata.

I suggest you read the Honda & Acura Performance Handbook (Performance Handbooks) by Mike Ancas before putting down $160 on wires or any other mods.
