Good Spark Plugs
so i am planning on replacing my spark plugs either tonight or tomorrow. i pulled number 3 and the electrode is pretty worn down and its no longer golden brown, starting to get silverish grayish, but they are NGK did they come stock with NGK? and als whats a good spark plug for thses engins (d17)? thanks guys
i've been running some bosch platinums from walmart and they work great for 8 bucks....cheaper and better than the ngk's in the silver box....can't remember which model....but they're in the same price range.....hope that helps cause most iridiums or plats cost like 50 bucks roughly

I'm the dumbass that bought the $50 dollar denso iridium platinum plugs and felt no difference. I figured it wouldn't hurt since I was being dyno tuned. Regardless I probably won't be changing plugs again, I had 60,000 on my OEM plugs that were fine and probably last the whole 100,000 miles.
You're not likely going to gain any performance, ESPECIALLY if you're NA. If you bought iridiums, congrats on buying a plug that will last longer than OEM. I wouldn't use platinum with boost or nitrous.
How long do you think a Denso Iridium plug will realisticly last. I pulled mine a while ago and they were kinda gray not brown like in the back of the Haynes manual. What do you think?

My plugs should realistically last probably the life of the car meaning I probablly won't have to change them again. I changed my plugs at 60,000 miles for the first time.
