Default jdm spark plug VS usdm spark plugs. difference?

running jdm d16a. my plugs that came with the car is ZFR6J-11 NGK. i recently bought ZFR5J-11 NGK. which are usdm d16z6 replacement. i look in my manual and it said the jdm plugs are design to run in hot weather or continous high speed.

question is what are the difference? which one do you guys recommend?

I am not sure about the engine you got but some jdm engines are higher compression and need a colder plug.

the ambient temperature doesn't matter as much as the cylinder temps, you should be alright, such a small difference is negligible.

If the motor says run a specific plug then use that one.

It recommends the jdm plugs because it is a JDM engine, why would a JDM engine recommend USDM plugs?
