NGK Coppers are much more economical. Although they have half the durability, they cost approximately 5x less. Also, copper plugs actually give a better spark. Since changing plugs isn't too difficult once you know how to do it, go with the coppers like I did; you won't be sorry.

That's the thing with sprak plugs. How different can they be in terms of power? 1-2hp at most if you're lucky, for an NA car. The main difference is longevity.
If you're running boost, then the spark plug types, copper, platinum etc, will play a bigger factor in the mod game.

have you noticed better drivability with this better spark? I hear everybody say it, but nobody says, it feels like the engine is stronger.

I have the denso iridiums, no big deal. Better spark doeesn't really do anything but make the car run and fire better and they last longer. They don't add horse power or anything.
Just get spark plugs that work well. NGK are specifically for nissans I think. But if you get denso's or NGK's it won't make a difference. Just make sure you tighten them right.
