No need , unless your whole Ign system is upgraded , and ya have forced induction or nitrous . Other than that stock is perfect

Even with an aftermarket ignition system are wires really a big factor? I’d think so long as you had a quality plug wire it would make that much of a difference in the wires themselves.

Considering people make 900+whp on OEM plug wires, I’m guessing you’ll be fine

EDIT: sorry read this as it was for a civic. What car are you talking about?

I bought the NGK plug wires for my Civic awhile ago. Way better quality than the OEM ones. I am an NGK fanboi tho. :lol
