Denso are good but for the price it is cheaper to stick with NGK Iridiums

you dont really need iridiums unless your boosted, i would stick with ngk but the denso ones would obviously work

I've been using Denso Iridiums for almost 3 years now. Havent changed them in 3 years and the car still runs like new.

I got them because I got a deal. $7 a plug.

I have the NGK Iridiums on my car, and I felt a little loss in performance, they are a slightly colder plug better suited for FI, but hey, since its free, just use them, the performance loss isnt dramatic, very slight IMO.

I'm running Denso Iridiums in my car. I ended up with a colder plug than what I should have had (mistake by the people who sold them to me, which was before I knew much), but they're just fine.

You should definitely gap them though. Even if they come pre-gapped, a small tap during shipping or handling can make more of a difference than you think.
