I would stick with Iridiums. I'm not a fan of coppers, not saying they don't work and work well, just that who the hell wants to change their plugs every 5k. Not me...

I bought it because my ball joints are leaky... figured why not just upgrade to that instead.. No plans just yet, GTWorx springs by next season though.

Stick with OEM if you go with Iridiums. You cannot gap iridium plugs, and the oem ones come pregapped.

Dealer, be prepared to drop $90 on them.

Def do not try to gap them. Iridium is very brittle and you'll snap the tip of the electrode right of.

For some reason I thought it was the Rolla that got hit... Do you think the keyfob needs to be recharged or its something more?

OK little man, what did you pay for them and who did you have to blow to get such a good price?

I remember it being between $80 and $90, I would rather tell someone the high side so when its lower they're cool with it. Where as I tell him its only $70 and he gets charged more he would be like wtf!

How come no one listens to me when I say Cherry Hill Triplex for OEM parts? $12.51/plug. BTW, price has gone down, but not by much. I paid $60 3 years ago for a set.

^ Well there ya go... I never said I bought them yesterday. I am aware the dealer rapes you for parts, ie.. 1 qt of Mobil1 for $10.49, but jeez, tryin to put a brotha down just aint right.

Looks like ExtremePSI has them for fairly cheap as well.
