NGK Irridium- yay or nay

NGK Irridium vs. Double platinum. I can't seem to decide which one. Even though I keep reading that irridium is better, It doesn't seem right that the better one would be half the price. Can anyone confirm Irridium is good/better/best for our car?

You dont need iridium if your making stock power, or bolt on Power.

Stick with the Coppers or the Double Platinum if you wish but Iridium is a waste and might decrease performance a bit.

i agree, im using iridiums and i dont recommend until you are FI or NOS, i just have bolt-ons and since i got the iridiums, seems like i lost some power compared to the old platinums i had before.

Irridium plugs are only for High performance applications, If your stock or NA, get copper plugs, best bang for your buck
