NKGs are the only plug u need for ur lude its specified by the factory to use them so use them. they are made for hondas. u can get the better NGKs with the split tip and those are better performance wise. just make sure ur gap is right.

My lude has NGK's in it and that is what I have had in my other Honda's. I can tell you that I tried to put Bosch +4's in my wifes Explorer a few years ago and the damn thing would NOT run on them. It would start missing on one cyl after a bit (different cyl's) I finally took them out and got Motorcraft and then it was fine. I won't use Bosch again.

i wonder if BOSCH is sensitive to certain cars then. Maybe those Germans are quite selective. hehe
How about DENSO's??

How about DENSO's?? Definitely! I have heard a lot of stories like fritcr´s with different plug brands. Stick with NGK or Denso and everything will be fine!!

just buy some regular NGKs and save your money. nothing else is going to make a noticeable difference except for power/weight ratio from the weight of the money that will be gone from your wallet.

well boys I went ahead and bought the BOSCH +4 for $5.99 each. So far so good....actually I noticed some better torque and better gas mileage. If anything bad happens I'll let you guys know :iceslolan

ive personally only used ngk's. recently there was a car at the shop i goto, and it was running terribly. they pulled the wires off and out came bosch plugs... threw in some ngks and it ran fine.
stick with what you know works. all this "plat4" shit is just gimmick nonsense. and im sure people have graphs that show otherwise, but ive heard more bad than good.

this is exactly what i did when i put the BOSCH's in my car: I placed the BOSCH's in first and out came my stock NGK-R. When I turned on my engine it began to stall a little. So i took out the distributor cap and cleaned up all the carbon deposits. After that It ran fine. But this is what I noticed from the BOSCH's;
1) It did seem torquey and rev happier
2) but it seemed a little rough, not as smooth as my NGK's
well when i reach about 5,000 miles i'll keep you guys posted on how its running. And dont' worry i'll get 5,000 miles quite fast because i commute a lot.

Question for all of the more experienced car people...Do "racing" or "performance" plugs really make that much of a difference versus OEM or similar plugs?

it all depends on what condition your car is in and what kind of mods you have on your car. So far from reviews that I've read NGK-R's Denso's BOSCH (a select few) do give a slight difference in FUEL ECONOMY and efficient power.

Spark plugs are spark plugs. As long as it has reliable spark delivery, it doesn't really matter which spark plug brand you choose. I've discovered that NGK's are the most reliable, so I recommend it to everyone. OEM is usually second best. I also have tried Bosch +4's. They seem to be a gimmick if anything else.
