Whatever the factory put on it. Probably NGK or Denso platinum, don't waste money on Iridium or Splitfire or any of that BS, you'll kick yourself for spending the extra money cuz you won't notice any difference, and Honda wires, unless somebody knows a good aftermarket performance brand.

Lots of the "performance" wires sold at parts stores are actually crap, be careful.

Yeah just stick with stock plugs and wires. I would guess your stock plugs are platinum. Copper need to be changed too often and aren't necessary if you aren't high-performance, and iridium aren't worth the extra $$ like jeffcoslacker said.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

Yeah I am getting ready to change my plugs, cap, rotor, and wires. I am going to get the stock ones. Seems best to stick with the stock parts. Especially if you are going to keep your car stock and not fix it up for performance.

Honda's OE ignition parts are top-notch. Toyota, too.
