NOOOOOO not bosh platinum. It teh worst $hit out there.
Go to NAPA and get some NGKs that's all you need.

used to run them. nice plugs. noticable amount of pep after install. super clean start. super SHORT LIFE. no joke i went through 3 sets in less than 20k. one set i burnt out completely in 1,500 miles. not worth it if you run your car hard. for the daily driver they are good plugs...i don't remember what i run now just some normal copper plugs and they make me happy since they don't burn out as quick.

The cheap ones. You're driving a Lancer not a Mclaren F1. Unless your turboed or supercharged... you don't need anything but the cheap ones.

^I think spark plugs are one of the most important things in a car if you are planning on tuning or modding. Don't go for cheap. Don't get super expensive if you don't need it. If you plan on staying stock then stay with what Mitsu recommends.
And if you will want to mod will show you what to get and when.

Not cheap ones as in "Walmart specials", cheap ones as in Ngk low-end.

This thread will tell you what Part # to look for:

I would love to see someone post a thread about the different materials and their pros and cons. I keep hearing iridium/copper/platinum this, and Denso/NGK/Bosch that, and would love to find out the more deeper details. I know that some get better performance but don't last as long while others give ok performance and last longer. I think that would be helpful, since some of us want to know the best sparkplug for horsepower, while others want the longest lasting or best budget value.

btw, I have been on NGK Iridiums for almost 40k now and no problems... although I might have had a single solitary misfire yesterday and I am 10k past the mileage I was planning on changing the plugs.

i need to get a new set, maybe i'll pick up 2 different sets, run them both for a certain amount of time and see if i notice any difference
