All these plugs are is the standard ngk plug but colder plug. I belive its total b/s about lowering combustion temp. Best plugs are NGK. I have tried every plug and the standard NGK V-power runs the best. Iridium are just the same but last longer.

i totally agree, i would just go with the NGK v-pwr's and save your money from buying the iridium's.

your not gonna gain any hp with special plugs, they will make your car run colder but thats about it. buy some oem plugs(ngk) you dont need to go to the dealer for them

Combustion temp isn't b/s. You want to run the right heat range plug for optimum performance and longevity. I also recomend factory plugs unless you are doing a different form of aspiration or nitrous. For those its best to use colder plugs so you don't get detonation. Whatever you do, just don't waste money on expensive plugs because they don't make a difference that you will be able to notice.

dont bother with anything but factory replacement plugs until you start getting some serious mods done. otherwise you're wasting your hard earned money for literally nothing.
