Default ? about Irridium NGK Plugs

I'm was searching on the ngk website for a set of irridiums for my car and I came across two different plugs.

Motor spec : 1994 - 1.8 L - b18c1 (gsr)

1. IX Iridium - part number BKR6EIX-11 ($6.95)

2. Iridium plug part number IFR6E-11 ($11.74)

(link for reference)

My question is, does anyone know the difference between these plugs?

TIA

I've used the IX plugs before and liked them quite a bit. Only drawback is...around 3000-5000 miles, my car felt weaker. Sure enough, changed the plugs back to resistors and it felt a little better. IMO...save the IX plugs for a dyno day or a track day. Don't expect them to last if you are going to daily drive them.

Use part number BKR-6EIX-11. I used to use them as well and was happy with them, but have come to the conlusion that I can get V-Power plugs at a little over $2 each compared to about $7 each for the Iridiums.

I can change out the V- Power plugs about 3 times for the cost of one set of Iridiums.
