stick with ngk. add 2 to the number in your model number, ie if stock is bcpr5e-11, you would get bcpr7e-11. they will be a special order item unless your local shop happens to cater to 'racers'.

You can also search honda-tech.com. They have lots of info on what plugs to use. But yeah use the same NGKs and just get colder ones. Seems to be what most people are using.

Most auto parts stores don't carry 2 ranges cooler in NGK. I've tried AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Napa, Advanced Auto and Pep Boys. They did have the same characteristics in plug in Champion brand.

I've been running these for about 3 1/2 weeks at the time of this posting, and they're working great. So, possibly another option for you might be Champion. Just make sure they have the same characteristics as your NGK brand plug. Your auto parts store should be able to cross reference that model number with that of other brands.

I currently use cheap Densos a step colder. I don't see any point in paying for fancy platinum or iridium plugs... you might want to try to get a good brandname though, as I've had some longevity problems from the Densos.

NGK or Bosch always worked well for me... can't recommend anything else as I have no experience with them.
