oem or ngk plugs (the number is on a sticker under your hood)
oem wires, cap, rotor

Changing to "better" plugs and wires isnt going to do anything powerwise

I've heard honda's are real fussy when it comes to plugs, I'd take pdigg's adice and stick with NGK.

I gotta agree! I love copper-core plugs. I've been running Champion #318 Copper Plus plugs lately and they rock! $1.79 each on sale, so no bragging rights, but you can't beat their performance...
I've been running Champion plugs for 2 years with no problems. Can't say the same for NGK's. That's why I switched...

And, I agree about going OEM with the rest of it. Believe it or not, spark plug wires wear out, just like tires and batteries, and need to be replaced every so often, so you're better off spending less money and replacing them more often...
