Yeah, the V-Powers are very reliable plugs.

NGK is the way to go in my opinion. Not only were they stock, they are much better if u ask me and the plugs from NGK are good too. I got NGK plugs and wires.

I'm not a big fan of the Bossch wires simply for the fact that the connectors rip off the wires to easily when you try to remove the wires. No complaints about the performance, just can't ever take them off without cutting the boots of the wires and reattatching the connector once you've ripped them off. Has anyone else had this problem b/c 2 friends of mine have complained about the same thing with the Bosch wires they bought.

I personally prefer the NGK wires.

Are you taling about the actual boots? Or the inside lead contacts for the plugs. If the latter, then I have to ask; are they twisting then pulling? Or just pulling? Sorry about all of the questions, I am just curious george!

the stock red wires are actually Sumitomo wires, and unless they are seriously shot, i reccomend you keep them... ive wrecked like 3 sets of non honda wires

With my malibu the plug wire boots are about 1/4 inch from the uncoated headers in places and under the actual header tube in others and I have no problem with sticking boots. Then again I have a custom set accel super stocks, but I would just use some of the silicone dialectic grease that you can buy in a little clear tube at the parts store and that makes it so I have had no ripped boots so far, and no sticking whatsoever.
