NGK IRIDIUM IX Plugs

What does everyone think... I can get these from ebay cheaper then I can get platinum elsewhere... anyone have any good experience with them or should I really stick with the plats? My car is stock but will soon have a ypipe and intake if that helps...

I have them and they work well. They are a higher performance plug than platinum and an alternative to copper (which doesn't last long) in boosted applications.

They have been GREAT I got them to run now that I have N2O.
Gaped at .36 and run good NA Butt dyno feels stronger at 4k+ RPM's then it did before I was running the Bosch 4's

I got the Irdium ix
BKR7EIX-11 2 step colder plugs

I had them on my old 2k, never had a problem, engine was mostly stock, no major mods (not even a intake). Ran them for at least the last 20,000 miles I owned it. I'd get them again.
