Yeah, just ask the sales person for a colder plug. They won't run to the back and stick a set in the cooler or anything. They'll know the term. I can't remember NGKs number for a step colder. BTW, why do you want to go colder?

Go and get the stock model number for the spark plug for you car then adjust that model number. For example the NGK spark plugs for my 2001 accord are ZFR5F one step colder is ZFR6F. NGKs numbers go up for colder. Everyone else I think go down.

do you even know why?

overheated sparkplug can start a pre. ignition, which could melt your piston
