NGK v-power are excellent and only $2 each. they are copper so you should change them every couple years to keep good performance. if you have money to waste, ngk or denso iridiums are also good and will last a bit longer. no extra performance, but they will use slightly less energy to make the same spark so your electrical system works less. do not use any brand other than denso or ngk for a honda.

Re: best brand spark plugs to use

pulse plugs are a scam. i tried and returned them after one test drive. many others have had them fail, crack, ruin the engine, misfires, etc. just search around the net. took me 30 days to get a refund after finally threatening a credit card chargeback. half the time they dont even answer the phone. performance was worse than $2 ngk copper plugs.
