that is called searching

also, you should fill out your registry before someone else screams at you. whenever you ask a question, people want to see what you have done to your car because that could alter the answer to your question.

They work fine for the car. but if you absolutely have to. Go with the NGK.

They're the suck, bud.

If you want to spend that kind of money on a plug, go to Auto Zone and try on a set of Denso Iridium's.

AC delco or autolites work well, no Bosch.

If you saw the "definative spark plug post" you'd know that autolites SUCK, they were too short

as stated +2 and +4 is crap, the spark only jumps from one lead anyway, basic electronics, electricity takes the path of least resistance..it won't split itself up, it likes to stay together. (5 years of military electronics)

if you don't have much done to your car, it's not going to make a damn bit of difference which plugs you use...just as long as you have them gapped correctly.

Isn't this a non-shielded spark plug? Doesn't it interfere with your radio reception?
