Spark Plug Wires for 98 Civic DX

May 23, 2005 3 Replies

Any thoughts on which brand of wires are the best? What difference would new performance wires make? Thanks.

Do you have a distributor? If so, and if the wires' resistance is too low, you will eventually wreck your coil. I do not know if this holds true for a non-distributor system.

You will see zero performance advantage by using aftermarket wires on an engine with the stock compression ratio. Other than a possible saving of a few bucks, which may be offset by shorter life of other secondary components.

Honda?s don?t like aftermarket ignition parts. Only Honda, NGK, or Denso parts are good.

i have apc plug wires on my older civic and it's running great. i also am using denso irridium spark plugs which makes a big difference. my engine runs alot smoother since i installed them. i prefer the apc plug wires over stock ones. they're better for no loss of voltage and no interference with your stereo which can be a problem with stock plug wires.
