Default Plugs and Plug Wires (RESPOND SOON!)

I have the following on my '99 LS Teg- JRSC, JR High Flow fuel pump, AEM CAI, Tanabe Racing Medallion Cat-back, a DC Sports header, and a PowerCore cat on the way. I want to change the plugs, WHAT PLUGS SOULD I GET (can my stock ing. handle +4 plugs)? AND SHOULD I BUY SOME WIRES WHILE I'M AT IT? ARE APC 9.3MM ANYGOOD? Please respond soon.

APC anything sucks ***.

Yes but only buy NKG or MSD or someone reputable.

Go a step colder than stock on the plugs.

NGK or DENSO for stock. Aftermarket wires, distributor caps, rotors, and most plugs are JUNK. What does the JR kit say to use - colder stock plugs?

It honestly didn't take me very long to figure this one out at all. First time I tried to pull my first set of aftermarket wires off the plugs, they came apart. And I had used dielectric grease on them.

Mike-who is happy with his OEM Honda wires.

Bosch plugs are horrible, especially the +4s....and platinum plugs + FI = glowplugs

Get either copper-core NGKs, Denso or NGK iridiums, those are the only plugs you should use in a Honda motor.

Wire-wise either get NGKs or MSD 8.5mm....just about any other brand of sparkplug wire falls apart...
