Nope, there a scam. Sometimes some of the electrodes dont spark,so in turn, you dont get an even burn.

I had them in my old Altima. There was no change in performance it started a little better when the car was warm but when it was war it started at the first crank big diff there. Then i put some injector cleaner in and it totally killed them.

heh. . my old car . . about 3 cars ago. .was a Geo Metro. . .lol [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] that thing. . heh. . was funny I actually had that thing fast. . Until one day .. I blew it up. . cause I put nitrious on it . . . hrm. . but that's another story .. I was being stupid.. But anyways.. When I had it I put the Bosch in there.. All 3 plugs. . lol. . It definately helped that little bugger start up quicker. . Didn't seem to do anything for performance, but seemed to start better . .that's about it. . When it comes time to changing the ones in my Civic I'll most likely go with those. . They are coo. .

The factory plugs in the 2k1 civic are NGK platinum plugs if you want to upgrade them get the Denso Iridium plugs.

i guess you gotta match spark plug companies with the country they are from and the car.

i.e. - VW - German, Bosch = German
The Bosch +4 plugs work greeeeaaaat on my VW. I actually felt a bit of a power boost.

Honda = Japan, NGK or Denso = Japan
I guess they work together good too [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I have heard of a lot of people putting +4's cars including my friends honda and he said he almost felt a bigger difference from the plugs, then the intake, minus the noise
