Guys, I think the new guy will fit in well. He's already insulting FORD's! It only took 6 posts. That must be a record!

Anyways, please elaborate on the overall crapiness of BOSCH plugs. I don't mean the +2 or +4, because i agree with you there. Those are a joke. What's wrong with the standard Bosch Platinum? There's a study on this post that shows the Bosch out-performing the NGK.

He may have just been referring to the +2 & +4. Those are crap. I hope you hadn't wasted your $ on those. They're no better than Splitfire. It's the latest gimic. Like the Tornado.

Wrecker, this is one post that says BOSCH is crap and you're already jumping ship. WTF? Stick to your guns man. The survey that we just reviewed showed that the BOSCH platinums outperformed the compeition. Just relax and wait until further proof comes in that BOSCH is crap. Consider them good until prooven crappy.

Well, you could save some $ by not changing your spark plugs as often as you change you socks! Play driving doesn't burn spark plugs either.

Since I'm planning on changing out my plugs this summer, I'll be looking more into this subject. So far I keep hearing iridium plugs. I haven't had any problems with my +4 Bosch's. Had em for going on over two years now. I figured they were better than the walmart splitfires that were there before.
I've read that the Denso iridium plugs are good but not for TT's because of the lack of physical length of the plug not extending far enough into the combustion chamber. Not recommended for the N/A's but doable. That leaves the NGK's. Anyone know of anyother iridium plug manufacturers?
