Thread: Suggestions: Spark Plug and Wires

    Suggestions: Spark Plug and Wires

    Just curious on what everyone uses for plugs and wires. I'm thinking of replacing my wires with NGK ones.

    thoughts?

    I still have been using stock wires- and mind you with 25psi of boost. I've run into absolutely no problems with them... HOWEVER... I got a pretty set of Nology HotWires I'll be installing sometime this spring. We'll see how those handle.

    NGK wires will be fine, my dealer always used NGK wires to replace mine on my old Protege (1992).

    I went with the long reach plugs from NGK ( V-Power {ZFR5F-11} ). I kept the stock wires, as they were fine..

    Yes but how many miles are on your stock wires? At 80K miles my coils were bulging (dying).. wires had been replaced at like 40k haha.

    Yeah the copper ZFR5F-11 works excellently. The NGK wires are basically stock replicas, but I think they're cheaper than stock? It's what I run, bought them from www.sparkplugs.com (owned by ngk at least a little I think)

    ^Plus one on the ZFR5F-11, and stock wires which ARE NGK, or "aftermarket" NGK - if they are cheaper - are all you need to keep the car running well. Anything else is honestly a waste of money.

    well aside from replacing the oem coilpacks.. which are a ridiculous amount of money.

    I know at one point napa sold them for $17.99 each and they were the OEM ones.. i.e. likely made by the same manufacturer.

    Stock wires and coils, and NGK V-power platinum plugs.
