There should be no real need to get anything but good basic spark plugs unless you are running with some serious performance mods.

For Accord engines, copper NGK V-Power plugs are the best if you don't mind changing them every 30 or so miles. Platinum lasts longer (100k...or so they say) but won't be as powerful. Iridiums, IMO, are completely pointless for our cars. Don't get me started on them.

NGK Coppers, their cheap and good. You wont gain anything by using peformance plugs unless you have some sort of forced induction.

Any NGK's whether they are V-Power (Regular class), or Platinum or Iridiums (Premium Class) are great.

But once again, there's no need for anything more than copper on our engines unless you want the super long life of platinum

Iridiums have shorter life spans, but produce a more powerful spark. Platinums have the longer life span, and coppers just do the basic work with basic longevity. People should know what they are spending their money on... :thinking:
