Spark Plugs, your $.02 and reccommendations
Hey everyone I am asking around on several boards for some feedback and recommendations regarding spark plugs. I would love to make this a Poll, but I am really just wondering which brand everyone prefers and why (Bosch, Champion, Denso, NGK, Pulstar etc). Thanks!

Well if you go with the platinum or iridium ones they last for 100k miles.
Besides all the twin cam Honda engines come from the factory with platinums.
So if your engine came stock with them, I wouldn't step down to the regular non-platinums.
Plus you have to replace those (regular units) every year, so I don't think you really save any money.

Personally, I prefer copper-core plugs!
They work the best, but you gotta change 'em out more often - 15K is about right in my experience...
My pick: Champion Copper Plus RC12MC4 aka MFR#: 318

I have NGKs in my cars, and Densos in the engine I'm swapping in. Someone said to stay away from Bosch, not sure why though. NGKs are cheap enough though, and I think they are OE equipment.

NGK here! From my understanding of materials wise. Iridium is supposed to last longer then copper. But iridium doesn't conduct as well as copper. It's really just for longevity wise like if you're too lazy to change your plugs every so often.

iridium is much more expensive, just for the record. also, iridium is really good for spark plugs and is used for helicopters too!
