Plugs and wires

I was just wondering what would be the best spark plugs and wires I should get for my 2000ex because it's time to change them. How much do they usually cost? Thanks for any replies.

I was reading Import Tuner and it said I should change my stock plugs at 15,000 miles. Is this not correct?

Yea, the plugs. But I dont think you will have to be changing the wires for a long time, thats the type of shit you do for your 100k tune up.

Get bosch platinum +4s. They run about 5 bucks a piece and they work just as good as denso iridiums(50 bucks a set!)!

last i heard, the bosch +4 plugs arent that great for the hondas. why not just stick with the NGK's? they come with the car, so they cant be too bad.

the bosch +4 are shitty plugs they have one of worse rating on the market. the y always cross spark they r terrible. get ngk plaantiums they r like 7 buck for two in canada. they work the best for our cars. i work in a automotive place.

You dont need plugs till 30,000 accoring to the sevice manuals, as for plug wires, probaly never need to repl them. Unless you upgrade your ignition like an MSD box...

Bosch are notoriously bad in Hondas,I've tried em and found this to be some what true.If you really do think you need to change yer plugs all ready go with ngks's or denso's but don't waste yer money on the irdiums the advantage they have of lasting a 100,000 miles is out weight by the price of 4 sets of ngk's. which will last longer.
