It had Nippondenso originally (some apparently came with NGKs). I ran Champion Copper Plus for 45k. It has run well with those three different plugs in it. It seems like the P+4s have made it run a little better.
Are you an expert at runs well in a Civic? I can accept that the Bosch ones don't run well in the GM Gen 3 truck V-8s...does anyone know why?

most civic come with ngk's few com with nippon denso plugs. but the recommended plugs are ngk v power. and in the b16a and b18c1&c5 and b16b recommend the ngk laser platinum. i've had many civic friends run others and they just don't compete with the ngk's. i run ngk laser platinum in my civic with msd 6al and blaster II coil personally.

Mine has the 1.5L,100hp...think that's a b15e7...all OEM except for the plugs and a K&N drop-in. The more I drive it,the slower the miles will accumulate on the truck. I might try NGKs next time...car has 205k miles.

i use a 1.5 inch extension for that plug. works good without too much sideways torque.

i have ran NGK's in my outboard motors for years. they are good plugs for marine and autos.

the copper NGK's are cheap and are supposed to work good too. they are only like $2 per plug or maybe even cheaper.

no reason to change out stock until after 100k miles, right? unless you have NOS or something
