Title says it all, please provide input on which spark plugs you feel are better and why you feel this way (example: personal experience; what you have been told, what you have read etc).
I can get the Denso plugs for $7 and the NGK's for $14 - huge cost penalty on the NGK's are they "twice as good"?
Thanks!
*I did a search prior to posting this and most said NGK was better but did not state why they felt this way - I want to avoid buying a product because people heard one was better I am hoping for hard imformation and not hearsay*

I vote NGK based on personal experience and recommended by a Honda tech. Thats a good price too..I thought they were $18. $4(savings) x 4 = 1 free spark plug for you.

Is your car a PZEV or ULEV? Take a look at this link, about half way down the page they explain the special plugs that the PZEV I4's and V6's have.

Advanced Auto has the NGK for $9.88. The same part honda uses as OEM but charge almost twice as much. Remember these are good for 105k miles so the cost isn't that bad.

I forget the exact measurements, but the NGK tip is slightly larger and most likely longer lasting than the Denso.

NGK ftw... this topic has been discussed many times over on my w201 forum with some electrical engineers, MB techs weighing in on it....
NGK has always been the clear winner vs Denso ... they've done right for me on my benz

I ended up getting the NGK's for a really great deal... I paid $13 each + tax:naughty:
