NGK copper plugs

I've decided to replaced my plugs with copers, just wondering if there is a difference betweek the NGK V-power copper vs. the regular NGK ones. Is there one that is preferred for the 4th gen. Please this is not meant to be a debate for copper vs. plantium

i have the platinum ones, those are the ones the car came with. the last like what 60k miles? and i think the coppers are half of that, but i heard they give out a colder spark. if i were u i would get the coppers, plus all that matters is once u get new plugs, its better for the car. go copper its cheaper and does about the same

Coppers give a hotter spark since they are a much better conductor. You want the V-POWER ones, part number bkr5e-1.

the ngk v-power coppers are the right copper plugs for the 4th gen. in fact, i think they're the ONLY ngk copper plugs for the 4th gen.
