Civic EX Spark plugs
Hey everyone,
I need some advice on new spark plugs.
Just bought this car used and it seems the HP is lacking and driving it not enjoyable.
I would like to go with NGK & Denso but am not familiar with all the bling-bling associated with them
(Platnium, Iridium, etc..)
Anyone got any suggests for the most affordable price & better than avg performance?
I'm looking to spend $50 tops.
Thanks and hope ya'll have a great day.

Thanks guys,
So originals are the way to go eh?
The iridiums look so pretty i wanna get 'em.. they look like they'll push my civic faster with the smaller threads..
So it's really not beneficial for a car without turbo?
Any further comments would be greatly appreciated

RE: Civic EX Spark plugs
I saw a dyno test in a magazine, and they did a before test with the stock plugs, then an after test with (I think) platinums, and they gained like 6hp. then just for kicks, they installed a brand new set of stock plugs, and got the same 6hp over the old ones. case in point, fancy plugs wont do anything new ones wont, especially on a stock or mostly stock car. put it this way, I have quite a few mods on my car, and i run the oem NGK plats (gsr motor is plat from the factory) and once i get my motor totally rebuilt, ill still run them oem.
