The Denso's appear to be better (they require less voltage to fire, giving it the "plasma booster" effect for less) & i see you are going for a colder plug, which is also good for a turbo application. As far as a comparison between Denso & NGK, i don't know if there will be much of a difference. I'd say go w/ Denso, as they are OEM manufacturers for our civic plugs also.

Never heard that. I have seen densos on my brother's car and they have been fine for years.

I haven't given it much thought. I've always planned Denso, I haven't heard much about the other brands. Maybe because Denso is more expensive, or has better marketing. . I dunno. . Anyways.. At the least they should come with a warranty, so if they do snap, then exchange. .

my friends retail parts distributor won't sell them to him to sell because he had several customers complain that they snapped under heavy engine strain such as boost... so he sells ngk's instead of the denso's
