I see you got that pic off the ebay seller.
I bought mine off of that guy.
I do sort of regret buying them.
Don't feel like its any sort of improvement; more like an overpriced sparkplug.
But I don't feel toobad; I needed to change my plugs anyway. Mother poured diesel into my car before and plugs were never changed.
I would use my money on other things until you really do need a tune up

yeah they really didn't do anything. It is kind of a waste of money. Maybe on a better engine but not ours.

I like em. I changed my plugs and changed my oil to synthetic at the same time and there was a noticable difference. Not sure how much of the difference was oil or plugs but hey a difference is a difference. Also better gas milage. I've got a little over 40,000 on my car.

Please do a search on Denso. For some fun, you can look at a thread entitlied :NGK or Denso Iridium?
basically the jury's divided on this, so... you decide!

I saw a big difference in the response of the car. I also get more miles per gallon. But then again I have 70,000 miles on my car and one of the four original spark plugs was pretty worn out.

Denso Iridiums are great. After trying those, I'd never go back to regular plugs.

my car rev's up quicker...I haven't taken it for a drive yet...i will in a sec...btw install is SO easy its like a 10 minute install

ALL the tools you need are a 10mm wrench/or socket
and a 5/8(15mm) socket to get the old plugs and tighten the new plugs in. To take out the old plugs you use the coil and stick it in and pull the old plug

QUICK DIY

What about spark plug wires? Would that make any difference? If so, where can you get them?

No need. We only have primary wires with a direct high voltage coil on each plug.

no, you cant get spark plug wires for our cars...because of the direct fire ignition...and its distributorless.

if you have a 5/8 spark plug socket they have a rubber ring so it pulls them out for you it is the easiest way.

OEM Coils are good enough. I won't recomend getting afthermarket. Also how many miles do you have on you car that you want to replace your coils? I have 74K on my car and the coils are still good.

Better to use an old topic than create a new one. Mod frown upon topics that have already been created.

Fixing to get the money to buy spark plugs from cdmx. How do you guys like them?

Sorry I wasn't trying to flame you. Coils are good for 100K (I think) or at least thats what I have been told.
