I disagree. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the seller specifically states "OEM recommended", which can mean a wide variety of things. To amplify on xviper's post, it does not mean that they are selling the same plug that was originally supplied in your car. Since the spark plug model is not listed and it appears that the seller carefully composed the photo to show "NGK" but not the model, I would not under any circumstances buy those plugs. I believe that they are being vague in an attempt to deceive you. The icing on the cake is that they are not responding to your emails. Why would you even consider buying an eBay item from a vaguely worded auction listed by an unresponsive vender? Buy your spark plugs from a reputable vender (H and A Accessories, or Hardtopguy) so that you KNOW that you will receive the correct item. Is that clear enough?

Just to make it really easy for you, here is a link to H and A Accessories. They sell the plugs for about $52 a set plus shipping.

The specific model NGK plug that was supplied in my car (MY 2003) is PFR7G 11S. That is the OEM plug and is what I and several others are recommending that you use. H and A lists the plugs without the "S" suffix, but you will get the correct ones.

Im Running NGK Iridium Ix plugs, one heat range colder than stock which would be a 8 range for ngk. I have run them in alot of my race cars and they have never given me a problem.

OEM - I put the Bosch Platinum in my CRX awhile back and fried the coil - expensive lesson.

My mechanic said something about Honda electrical systems being more sensitive to "fiddling" - don't know if this applies to the S2000, but I'm not going to tempt fate again.
