NGK Iridium IX. NGK is the way to go with our cars.. I chose Iridium because of its' supposed durability and prolonged life span. I bought it from this seller - excellent guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-NGK...spagenameZWDVW Good luck!

EDIT: Stay away from Bosch...

What I meant to say was that I don't use spark plugs, but I have the NGK laser platinum flux capacitor mod in my coil packs - so I don't need plugs... if you guys would read the bloody stickies you'd know what I was talking about

Its funny how people will read one thread and start another thread about the same topic. Anyway I use Boche platinum 4's and it runs just as good as a max using NGK's.

How long have you been running Bosch plugs??

I have seen many threads on here about major sputtering problems and things of that nature because of them. Not sure about P+4's though...

It's also funny how threads get so off topic, and people just feed the fire (guess this reply was no help, huh?)
