Stick to the manufacturer-recommended plugs.

No point running hi-po plugs on a non-hi po engine.

If you want to buy fancy plugs, get the platinum version of whatever your stock plug is.

The benefits of multi-point versus single point is debateable, and it depends on which of the two sits closest to the center of your combustion chamber. Since your engine was designed to run on certain plugs, Multi-point plugs of different heights may or may not work better than stock, and may sometimes be worse.

Of course, the only sure way to find out is to compare them on a dyno... but that's very expensive.

So... stick to stock nalang.

Niky: hehe, spending 4-5K to test out a product that costs less than 1K ba? :D

Pa-sponsor nalang sa car club... hehehe.

But honestly, since the Civic is so common, it's possible that you can find dyno results and feedback on Honda boards if you look hard enough. I'm still willing to bet that stock-design platinums are the best.

what is more important than how ever many tips it has is the heat range of the plug. it must match your intended use.

bkr6e-11 na ngk is what we always use on stock hondas
