Guys I just wanted to say that if you ever go to the auto part store and buy any spark plugs or filters and ETC.
Stay away from Bosch products (Minus the O2 sensor since we can't find anything else)

The worst spark Plugs you can ever, EVER buy are BOSCH platinums with the dumb looking 2,3,4 tips.
These are terrible, suck a55 and will bog down your engine like no tomorrow especially when going up hills and high end reviving.

I would explain my theory on these crappy a55 spark plugs but Don't want to bored you guys. So i will save my explai-nation.

BOSCH sucks at spark-plugs.

Ok ok guys.. I jump on the band wagon of bosh plugs being a tottal waste of time and money... I'm a bit of a parts geek, as well as a member of management for a parts store, and am here to deliver not only my experience, but also the feedback of MANY customers.... in most cars the +4's run "ok"... any body telling u they gained anything more than a smoother idle from them is either high, or had crappy plugs to begin... the spark only jumps to 1... yes 1 electrode at a time as electricity takes the path of least resistance... the whole crappy idle thing might possibly be due to a weak coil as these plugs have impedance (a.k.a. resistance) up and out the ass... the main reasons why us part stores push these plugs are
1) high profit margin
2) they cost more so our sales numbers go up
3) people love how long they last and think we are looking out for wats best for them
4)many times there is some sort of commision for the selling the +4's

As far as NGK or Denso... most of their products are identicle by design... don't be too picky between the two... and as far as iridium goes... it lasts longer than platinum... but 4 u performance guys ur wasting ur money cuz these plugs have way more resistance than platinum n ur better off with standard, or regular platinum plugs...

in short, the more money the plug, the longer the life expectancy on a factory tune
