Hi guys, i'm going to be changing my plugs in about 1500 mi. I was looking at the following NGK spark plugs:

the OE Style Laser Platinum; PFR5G-11
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=960&ptset=A

and:
the Iridium IX Plug; BKR5EIX-11
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=960&ptset=A

I've been to NGK's website and it seems that the PFR5G's are the "stock" ones. Which are better in terms of performance/efficiency?

get the platinums, they're the stock plugs. In my experience, they're better than the iridiums.

If those are too long, how come my car has been running those for the past 100,xxx miles? I bought them from Courtesy too.

I think he's talking about the BKR5EGP plugs.

The PFR5G-11 are the stock ones.

we're talking about the PFR5G-11 and the BKR5EIX-11

I'm leaning more towards the PFR5G-11, unless the BKR5EIX-11 are better

REALLY? Hmmm...Isn't it misleading then that most stores have those as a replacement for the car? They're even listed on the NGK Website.....
