I'm using them in my Integra and they are really great. Good power, economy, durability, idle etc. But read the post above, about Bosch plugs and I think you'll see the consensus is to use the factory NGK's in Maximas.

iridium plugs are nice but there is a concern about teh densos having a different resistance than the NGK's. NGK makes an iridium plug that is just as high of quality and has the same resistance spec as the factory plugs. when i looked at iridiums the NGK's were cheaper anyway.

I would go with NGK iridium IX. For some reason our computer is real fussy about what we put in for sparkplugs. A Nissan service guy who seemed to know his stuff, told me that different makes of plugs have a different resistance, and some customers who used different plugs had issues with stumbling/missing with the ignition. I didn't buy my plugs from the dealer either. One of the service guys was having a cigarette, so I figured I'd bend his ear and try to learn something new.

bottom line:
unless you are FI or heavily modded, stick with the stock Nissan plugs or similar NGK's.

it has been widely proven that other plugs will not "help" anything on a low-mod maxima, but can "hurt" performance.

stick with stock....
