I changed mine after about 3,000 miles, only because of the mods I had done. I went with the cheap NGK BR7-ES, gapped em myself to 28, and haven't had any issues.

dont have the exact number, but you should get the NGK copper ones...its like BRE7S or something like that...thats what turbotrix recommended for me and they were going to change them during my tune, but unfortunately they didnt have any in stock at the time. i didnt have any misfires though during my tune, so my stock ones are still good. its still a fairly new car though. 12,000 miles on it

You may want to run BR8ES they are 1 range cooler then stock. They really keep the knock down. Also gap them around .025-.026 Mine were at .028 and breaking up some at higher rpms...

I am getting a random misfire so I am not sure if the NGK irids are gapped properly. They say it's pre-gapped from factory. What should I do?

Are the BR8ES too cold for daily driving? Is this a plug that you want to swap in for a racing event and then take out for day to day driving? I just don't want something that is going to foul too easily when you are taking it easy.
