NGK are OEM arnt they??
or honda get NGK to make their plugs and leads

anyway, i got NGK leads for my b16a2(blue ones) for $100 from bursons
i also have iridium plugs that have been in the car for about 35000kms
only changed the oem leads cause one of them was shorting out

are there different kinds of leads like the plugs ie iridium, platnium etc??
or are they all the same

yeah mate... real keen to see your pics coz of ur avatar

or are they all the same

there are a few different designs around each with a specific purpose.

NGK - being an awesome cheaper oem replacement that has the same or better quality than oem

Magnacore - focuses on maximum conductivity with lower impedance but using thicker cores than oem designs

Nology - improves actual spark strength through its mid-core capacitor design.

etc... same as engines... different design different purpose.

at the end of the day, it's a matter of which ones suit the application the most.

I agree with everyone else that NGK is good replacement to oem.. moreso because yo can get it for $64 in the link i provided a few posts up

How do they compare to OEM tho??

I read a real descent article proving that OEM was far superior but i don't remember if it included OEM.

Are the NGK leads from super cheap the same ones that Honda sell??? i couldn't imagine them bein the same.

Question - what is FTW? I don't know what that means.

[lil_miss_vtec]

I have been quoted $70 for top gun 9mm leads - r these ok for my motor?
I know OEM are best but I don't want to pay $200!!

FTW = for the win.

I'd probably go for NGK. They seem to be the better option. I think someone said they are the company that make the OEM leads as well so that mus say something about their quality.
