out of Iridium or Double platinum ngk spark plugs, what brand is better

 

NGK standard LS plugs are copper. better conductor than iridium, cheaper, but won't last as long.

 

id go for Denso iridium plugs over NGK

 

just FYI, Honda uses NGK, period. if it's good enough for Honda, it's good enough for me. sometimes

 

so the best ones are Iridium or Double platinum, dont care about price

 

Ive had the ngk iridium ix's for like 30k and havent had any problems... saw them a little while ago and they are good. As for being better... i would say they are just the same and might last a little longer.

 

Just go with NGK coppers. They're cheap and it's easy to change the plugs on our cars. No need to waste money on iridiums or platniums.

 

i would think that iridium would be better from a mettalurgical standpoint if you don't care about price. but like 2G said, they may not actually be any better than standard copper plugs, they just last twice as long for 8 times the price. you won't see any HP from spark plugs, so who cares?

 

Go with the ngk platinum.

 

so i pick them up and drop 40$ for all four put them in....it runs nice. with in the year somthing happins i can bring them back and they'll give me a nuther four.

 

i swear by bosch platinum. they never foul. even on my old work van with the crappy valve seals and horrible cumbustion chamber buildup.

 

I see you already got them so maybe this is pointless, but I would never get anything other than the regular V-Power's. The only real advantage to the iridium is the extended life, but the cost is just too much for me.

listen to this man. you need to change them more often, but they are cheaper and better conductors.

 

ditto to that rusty hatch.... although theyre expensive.. theyre good quality an ive never really had a problem with them, even if i only had a car for mayb e 10k max with them in... ( had 'em in my first accord an my first teg ) they've been great thus far

 

there doing good for now. now i got to go buy some wires 'good ones'

you're wasting your money, and you're about to do it again if you go for the "good ones" when shopping for ignition wires.
but hey, it's your money

 

yeah i know my boy say the same but i do work hard for it.but what your meaning is getting after market wires is a waste?

Just go with OEM or NGK wires. The reason that aftermarket wires are a waste is that they're overpriced and don't provide any significant gains.

once again the correct call. i bought some magnaWHORE wires a couple of years ago and they suck, they dont click onto the rotot like stock wires.

the best wires i ever bought were ngk blues for my civic.

That's what I've been using for 96K miles. I get 4 for less than $10 at monument car parts. It takes less time to change spark plugs than oil so a 30K duty cycle is fine by me!
