stock (ngk) or get some ngk R's
the factort knows what they make so they put the right spark plug in it
if you change it you may lose so why mess up a good thing eh?

Bosch plat. 4 plugs are one of the best for the money...they're better than the stock NGK or NGK v-power...the Denso Iridium plugs are even better than the Bosch, but they're not worth the money. Go to www.importreview.com to check out the spark plug comparison.

the bosch platinum +4's are the worst plugs to waste your money on. i cant tell you how many people i know who have melted them or have had othe problems with them. go with NGK iridium and you wont be disappointed.

I've used bosch platinum +4 now for over 2 years and have had no problems with them. They put out 1 more hp to the wheels than the NGK V-Power which is the Bosch's price range. The NGK Iridium are much more expensive and do not make any noticeable difference in hp than the Bosch. You can pick up a set of Bosch Platinum +4 from anywhere between $8-$16 a set. There's only so much a spark plug can do. IMO, spending more than that is just a waste of money.

the price has nothing to do with what i said. first of all platinum is a great base for carbon deposits to build up. second it is a catalyst for nitrous, in case you plan on spraying, and on boosted cars they seem to melt very quickly. i would rather spen the extra money then buy plugs that wear out. you mught have luck with them on a semi stock motor but once you get into some serious mods i dont think they wil last very long.
