    ok... this is just my 2 cents so please bring on the fire...

    i would never put anything but an NGK in any kind of vehicle made from japan.
    they are designed specifically for japanese vehicles and definately perform better than any other brand. (i have tried just about every brand out there in the last 150k miles on my integra)

    i bought the bosch 4prong platinum crap ONE TIME for my integra and regretted it immediately because as soon as my car turned over it ran like crap, spit and sputtered off the line and had no top end at all. changed it back to NGK's... problem solved..

    so, im with the rest of the crew, NGK only. (oh and i have had 3 honda certified mechanics tell me that you should never use anything but NGK in a japanese vehicle)

    Just successfully changed mine today to the NGK platinums. The Champions I removed didn't look so good....but I don't know how long they've been in. I have 68,800 miles now so at some point the OEMs came out and PO put in Champions...so estimating the math..... they didn't last nearly as long as the platinums should.
