Stick with the oe iridiums... and DO NOT TRY TO GAP THEM! They come pregapped and iridium is very briddle, you could break the electrode by messing with it.

good luck

OE plugs. They probably are NGK, but I would still buy the ones direct from Mitsu over NGKs from an auto parts store.

always gap them yourself, and buy NGK copper plugs. They are cheap and you can change them everytime you do oil change, don't have to tho

Coppers you want to gap, iridiums no.

NGK BPR7ES for stock VIII's, NGK BPR8ES for modded VIII's, and NGK Iridiums on the IX's. You will need to check and gap the BPR plugs.
