Default fouling spark plugs

i am going to be doing more street driving than track driving. would it be okay to run the ngk bkr7e plug or should i run a different plug to prevent quick fouling.

unless you've got a tuning issue, those plugs will be fine and shouldn't foul to easily. They aren't THAT cold...

iridiums overpriced the ground strap breaks and they drop in the cylinder. kiss your motor goodbye. i have seen this happen on 2 different wrx's.
