Don't get me wrong guys. I know enough not to expect substantial (or even minimal) power gains from these plugs. What I wanna know is are they more reliable than 2-electrode types and will they last really long? I've been surfing around, and the opinions seem mixed.
By the way, these plugs have a fine-wire center electrode, a platinum plate/knob/something on each of the two side electrodes, and fetch around US$30 for a set of four (hmm, that's kinda cheap for Triple Platinums, isn't it? :rolleyes: ).
NGK platinums are sadly hard to come by where i come from :( , so any opinions, experiences, suggestions, and/or violent reactions on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Peace. :D

just stick with ngks. thats what oem recommends so must be good. also i heard that platinum plugs don't give you better performance. maybe you should get some denso iridiums but those are hell expensive

Like i said, the NGKs aren't as readily available as i would like.
Like i said, too, performance isn't what I'm expecting; more on reliability and durability. Platinum is more corrosion-resistant, and I read in one review that the twin heads make sure that you get a spark all the time (note: A spark, not 2) just in case one of the electrodes gets dirty.
And, yeah, Denso Iridiums are stupendously expensive.:eek:

Splitfire or Bosch are not any better of choices...just order the NGKs from anywhere or even from the Honda dealership if you gotta.
