Copper or iridium's.

From what I am told, platinum plugs last longer but they don't spark as good as copper or iridum. Therefore they wouldn't be ideal for turbo aspirated cars. The ngk bpr8es are very common in evo's.

Copper is the most popular here, bpr7es, br7es, bpr8es and br8es. I never look back after running copper plugs, I am using bpr7es now and I just bought br7es, will try then next time.
