Best NGK's? The Iradinums or The coppers? OR do we go Bosche?

Right now Im debating on my plugs.

I got bosche Platinums +4 waiting to be installed. However I have read that NGK is the choice for max's.

Now the question is do I want the Coppers? Or the Iradiums.


Here is the NGK site for more information..

Thanks

whatever you do save your money and return the bosche, had them in my car and ran pretty crappy. i went with ngk coppers. bout $1.59 a piece, the only down side is that you would have to change them more often.

Get the NGKs. The Maxima is designed specifically for the NGK. Personally, I run the coppers because they're cheaper than the platinums without any decrease in performance (but lower life).

I got coppers since they cost the same for all 6 as 1 platinum and if anything have a better spark. If you want to get them from JR nissan (or any nissan dealer), the part number is 2240150Y05. Don't forget to use the Sale30 discount code if you get them from JR.

Well Im thinking the Iradiums will work great. How long of a life do you think I will get on them?

I can get them for about 9.98 here in town.

Thanks

i've got a set of copper NGKs on the max right now. Have had no complaints so far. These are the ones that come from the factory, stick to these.

why do people insist on putting parts that run well on cars from other countries on a car from a different country than the part...bosch is german if you drive a german car use bosch otherwise stick to asian parts on an asian car....thats like trying to burn rice in a mustang

Use NGK.
Use Coppers.
No need for iridium.
Why do you want to pay for plats or iridium's when the coppers are actually a better conductor and are much much cheaper?
