I have been using Bosch since 15k miles, they have worked for me very good.. I don't know what your friend told you but I think he is misleading you on that....

Not sure if you guys have an interest, but it increases our knowledge... and knowledge is power .
Fact about Iridium:
Fifty million years ago, an asteroid composed almost entirely of the precious metal Iridium (Ir-77) struck the earth, creating the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting dust cloud destroyed most living things and ended the dinosaurs reign on earth.
Cool huh?

NGK Iridiums are nice plugs. My GMC Yukon has them and now no more knocking from the engine during starting. I bought them off of Ebay under "NGK Iridium SPark Plugs"
They are more money but look at the technology advancment they have over platinum. When platinums came out everyone wanted them. It will be the same with the Iridiums. I just had a friend file a law suit against Bosch for two of the prongs on the Bosch Platinum 4s came off in the cylinder. Bosch said sorry so now he is going to try to get a new engine from them for this. Shiet.....4 prongs why not 6. Kinda like the new quad razor. Damn do you need that many when two does the job. BTW Iridium is bar far a superior metal. Go to the site below and read!

Bosch actually produce less power on a dyno- there was a article in Sport Compact Car a while back and they tested a Sentra SE-R with Bosch plugs vs NGK plats and the car made 3 more HP at the wheels with NGK plats. At the same time +4 plugs are NOT good at all, why do you almost ALL good car manufacturers (we aint talking Kia or Dumbestic) use NGK for their OEM plugs ? Bosch cause all kind of hesitation problems on Nissans.

NGK = Most Asian cars
Bosch = American
You choose.

Even Bimmer, VW, SABB, ROLLS ROYCE, JAGUAR and many more euro car use NGK as their OEM spark plug.
What does this say? Their German Spark Plug maker sucks ( Bosch)

I've seen this a few times on ebay as well $36 auction and $40 shipped. Haven't picked up a set, as I am probally going with NGK coppers (one step colder ).

Thanks for the great info everyone. It looks like the NGK iridium off E-Bay for me.

I need to replace my spark plugs, and was looking into the NGK iridiums. The cheapest place so far is ebay. Does anybody that bought remember the specific seller?

I might just buy from this seller. Decent rating.
