        For the wires, oem is sumitomo. Not sure on the other stuff.

          but ngk wires should perform just as well right?

            OEM is typically best but I have never had a problem with NGK or Denso parts. They are often the OE source anyway.

              The Accel coil is nothing to write home about. No noticeable difference over stock. Had 2 fail after just a couple of years and the build quality also isn't very good.

                NGK will perform just fine... but no, not as well as Sumitomo.
                I managed to find some Sumitomo wires via Google while on my phone earlier today.
