NKG Platinum- G Power?

I've searched the forums, and have found plenty of references to NKG platinum plugs, but now realize there are several types.

The thing is, I thought I was doing the right thing by buying G-power premium Platinum Tip plugs ($17 CDN for 2), but the dealer says the actual correct plugs are NKG Double Platinum ($18 each!).

Question is: At half the price, how will my 2001 ae function on the G-power plugs? The product is BKR5EGP. Thanks to all!

I don''t knnoe what is your milage, but I put mine at 90k, too soon I guess since no difference really noticed. Original are platinium LFR5A11 and I put Platinium GP LFR5AGP and paid little more that for original. Don't buy from stealership try to research it online. www.rockauto.com

I changed mine over A year ago with E3 spark plugs 3.99 each they are good for 100000 miles they say and I never had A problem so far, my original ones that came with car lasted till 116000 miles till I got A misfire code and changed them all. Also same performance as original ngks

I would stick with OEM NGKs, but you can order them from Dave B. cheaper than $18/each.
