Tune up time: Recommendations for spark plugs, wires?
I am planning on a tune up for my 99 civic LX that I just bought. The car is completely stock. I want to do the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Any brands out there that are better than others? i was thinking the bosch platinum+4 plugs? Thanks

stick with ngk for plug wires and ngk or denso for plugs. bosch is garbage for imports. cap and rotor oem honda is best. dont bother with the cheap auto store parts like bwd, they dont last very long at all.

Only thing sucks about OEM caps are the screws, mine rusted into the hole and broke off.

Yeah NGK Blue wires, NGK plugs, and as far a the cap and rotor stock is fine unless you are heavily modified.

civicpapi i know advance auto sells bluestreak caps and rotors with brass coated parts which will not rust. that may be a better alternative if yours are rusting. the plastic is blue, and screws are gold color.
