Other than "genuine" Honda parts.....What is considered the best after market
parts you can use on Hondas?

Denso, Beck -Arnley, Bosch, Napa, are some of the ones I have noticed.

Any ones better than others??

> Denso,


Denso is an OEM supplier to Honda and Toyota among other makers. Some
electrical components sold at Honda dealers are made by Denso (formerly
called Nippondenso).


> Beck -Arnley,


Owned by Dana, an OEM to the American Big Three. Beck/Arnley is strictly
aftermarket.



> Bosch,


Bosch is OEM to a number of European makers. Robert Bosch GmbH invented the
oxygen sensor.


> Napa,


NAPA is just a retailer. They buy other aftermarket maker's parts and put
them in boxes with their own name on them.


OEM parts are made to OEM specs. Aftermarket parts--whether made by
companies that are OEM suppliers or not--are usually NOT made to the same
standards. In general, you get what you pay for. Cheaper is NOT usually
better.

With some rare exceptions (the rad, for instance), I prefer Honda OEM.
