Replacement spark plugs

Hello guys,
Im planning to replace my spark plugs soon (within 2 weeks) and I came across a web site (STIKILLER.COM) where I saw NGK BPR7ES spark plugs for $14 each. I wanted to see if anyone knows if these are ok to use on an EVO VIII. I know buying from the dealer, I think I paid like $22 or so each. Please let me know if these are ok to use. Thanks.

BPR7ES is regular copper plug, it costs about $10 for 4, you sure it's $14 each?
dealer sell iridium plug for evo thats why it's $22.
and please do a search, there are plenty of info about spark plugs.

FYI 9s are 2 steps colder - thats a lot. Even with all the mods I have I run only 1 step cooler. For stock or close to stock use 7s.

STIKiller.com sells them for $14 for a set of four, not each. Keep in mind that these are copper plugs, which will have to be replaced every other oil change or so. The ones from the dealer are iridium and will last much longer. However, $22 each from the dealer is a ripoff; NGK BPR7EIX iridium plugs are available for under $8 each.

Ebay is your friend, get the Iridium's. How often to you guys change your Iridiums?

On my bike the owners manual says 16K but I changed them at 8K and noticed a difference, after my buddies bike with the same Iridium NGK's wouldn't start at 9K!

You can go to oreillys and get those same plugs for under 10 bucks. I think I paid 7 for all 4.
