i had regular ones in my nitrous car and they would go out like every week and a half i decided to put these iridium and they have been ok and its been about 4 months altough be careful when you gap them.... they are a pain

in a regular car non turbo non nitrous they will not make a difference just go with regular ngk's

On importreview.com there was an actual dyno of Bosch Platinum +4's vs. the Iridiums and the Iridiums made something like 1/2 to 1 HP in a decent motor....

I have NGK Iridiums, and I did notice an increase.

But when I did I changed the spark plug wires + coil pack, new dist. cap, new rotor. so it might have been the combination of all.

Mis 2 centavos...

If you look closely at an ad for the iriduim plugs in a magazine.... i forgot what HP it says its adds... 4-5 or something like that? Then in REALLY small letters it says thats from a dyno of a 400hp civic or something.

I'd just go with regular NGK's. I can remember 3-4 times where I've seen the porcelain part of the Denso's seperate and fall into the motor.
