Just be aware that unlike platinum plugs, these are only good for 30,000 miles. So in effect, they cost twice as much as NGK platinums.

I personally would rather just use Plats instead of Iridium. I have used both Plat and Iridium on my WRX and there is no difference what so ever. I was never a fan of copper plugs.

I've been told by my distributor friend that the plugs most benefit turbo/nos/high hp engines. With those engines, the need for a high performance ignition system/plugs is more important and evident if you do.

Milder engines won't see much if any increase in performance.
