I heard that the Greddy Iridium plugs are the ones to go with. They are gaped closer then the NGK or Denso.

Sometimes it all depends on how your car will react to the plugs. i did an extensive search last week tryign to figure out the best plug. While alot of threads and replies recommended one plug, the other worked better.

My car only has intake, and TBE and it broke up at upper RPM's using BPR7IEX plugs gapped at 28-then 26 and still broke up. So I switched to BPR-7ES and they worked better and were $1.50 each.

evo ix spark plugs aren't cheap I believe around 10-12 bucks a plug is what you are likely to pay for a good plug

it's funny how people rip someone for asking a question just because it might have been asked before. Just answer the guy if you have one and move on...
