Yah,, Iridium is a step up from Platinum....I have Denso's & have noticed an increase in gas mileage...& the car seems to idle smoother.............Iridium's are the top of the line right now......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I have the Denso iridium's too, along with my ignition solutions plasma coils they are a good pair. The parts you need is IK20. My stock plugs were already all burnt up and rounded off! I hope these last longer....

I've been hearing some good stuff about the Bosch Platnium +4s for our cars too. People are getting about 2-3mpg more and about maybe 2 more hp. I know it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but it's something else to think about too. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

The best price I found is $59.23 for four IK20 Denso Iridium Spark Plugs. That's including the shipping cost. Here: spark plugs
Anyone find a cheaper price than this?

Hey man, I posted the part number in this same thread its an IK20, anyway today I took my plugs out and they are still in good shape, I think the stock plugs were really crappy... i took the denso iridiums out and they still had a nice tip on the electrode and it wasn't all burnt up like the stock ones. i recommend these IK20's I paid like 12 bucks a piece but then I got a 25% discount.... hehe
