Just use the stock NGK Laser Platinum Plugs PFR5G-11. You can get good deals on EBay 6 for $32 plus $5 shipping. Put them in and forget plugs for several years.

The copper ones will do the same job and we all know that copper is a better conductor than platinium... just have to changes them more often likes once in a year or a year and half.

NGK is the only way to go! Copper or platinum.
If you don't want to search the number:

NGK Platinium : PFR5G-11
NGK V-Power copper: BKR5E-11
If you want to buy the copper ones at the dealer: # 22401-50Y05

Hope it helps.
