NGK are stock and considered to be the best by most honda dorks...
bosch platinum are good but don't have the spark capabilities of an all copper plug however they last WAY longer... don't get the plus 4's because as far as I have experienced they have too many paths for the spark to take and hence they do not spark well causing fouling and early replacement... if you have some sort of aftermarket ignition (msd) maybe you can produce enough spark but the stock honda system won't work well with them. Champion is an oldy and cheapy but the plugs work well. they just need to be replaced much more often. Your best bet is to stay with ngk.

Hey dude. I am from Columbus, too. I also heard that NGK plugs are best for Honda engines. For your car, if you don't have too many mods (nitrous, turbo, etc.) copper ones are best. Stay away from Bosh ones. I had them in for a few months and they didn't work well. If you get NGKs from a dealer they already come pregapped, so all you have to do is put them in. That's only, if you didn't know that already...

NGK is a good choice to go with...If you go w/ turbo or nitrous then look to the iridum plugs...
Hope this might help... |

in that case, you need to go to a competent auto parts store that doesn't pull the product with the wrong number on it for your particular vehicle. |

well the thread is universal now from what i've seen, but also some other factors are involved in a plug to be good for a certain car: gap, heat range
