Just wondering about regular copper spark plugs. I know about NGK plat., but I have also heard that copper is a better conductor than platinum. Just wondering. Has anyone put these plugs on?

It's just that the Bosch plugs don't have the umpf like the NGK's have at the low end. I can notice the difference. My next go around will be the NGK's again.

Done that. It seems the copper ones would be better for performance, right? And at 2.50 a plug that's a he11 of alot cheaper than plat's, even if you do have to replace them more.

Theoretically, that's true. And theoretically, the interval of replacement would have to be 30k instead of 60k. Having not tried copper plugs in the VQ, I'll not speculate.
It's probably worth a shot to see how they do. I doubt any damage will occur......

Isn't the interval for copper plugs like 15k?? He would have to spend 4 x $2.50 plus the labor to change them 4 times. Still worth it?
