Thumbs up Which spark plugs

Now my S2k is running better, I'm thinking of treating it to some new plugs.

Its only on 33k but its 6 years old now.

The Dealer quoted me 20 quid per plug, +vat and fitting.

I assume its not more complicated than any other car.

would it be best to get the plugs from Honda, or is there a cheaper source ?

Thanks again
Mark

There is a really long thread started by Amuse Boy in which he and i discuss a lot about plugs and which ones we go for. Try a search for it dude.

But I remember I paid about

Spark plugs may have been replaced more recently than you think with the associated re-call?

Go for Denso Irridium Tough, exact same plug as HKS but half the price.

Just fiited these in mine, it feels more responsive, snappy throttle and crispy revs.

These are the ones you want.

I wouldn't use Denso having read some stories on here.

I agree.

I was using Denso plugs until recently but was advised that they were too 'cold' for the car. I was also checking them every month becase of the problems people have had with them.

Changed over to the NGKs a few months back and never had a problem with them
