Default Type r spark plugs

Just replace my spark plug with a generic ngk brand, and now my car is driving funny(feels like backfiring, dont pull like how it used to before i changed out the plugs). I have a couple of question

-Am i suppose to use a special type of spark for my motor considering it's a type r
-Do gsr and type r use the same spark plugs, and the reason i am asking is because the guy told me the spark plug was pre-gap, leading me to my next question
-What is the proper gapping measurment for a type r (.44?) and is it the same as a gsr

MY old spark plus was NGK model number PFR60 and it ran GREAT in my car.

Anybody know which NGK it was?

by generic NGK do you mean a brand that isnt NGK? i know that autolight plugs will make the motor run funny, even though thats what the book called for

Well the model number is 1283 BKR7E-11 NGK.

Reason im calling it generic is because the box just say NGK, i thought there were different model numbers of NGK.

Bottom line, this thing makes my car runs funny.

with the higher comression, i would think that they would be a degree or two colder, maybe try checking the gap on them
