So sometime later this week, I'm going to try to find some time before sundown to replace my spark plugs. What I want to know is what spark plugs would be ideal for daily usage. I guess something that's the best bang for the buck. The plugs should be gapped to 0.043" (1.1MM) according to the sticky, correct?

More expensive plugs don't always mean they perform better... just have better life. Basically, you should get Denso or NGKs... the tier (platnum, iridium, V power, etc.) is up to you and your budget. They all do pretty much the same thing.

I'm not too worried about quality:price ratio. Hell, I'm running $2 (x6) NGK 6097 in the 1JZ as those are favored for the car. I just wanted to see what is recommend for the 5SFE like NGK #### or Bosch _____. Will the 6097s work fine in the 5S? -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

I think that Alex is trying to say he's not worried abo0ut the price so he wants to get new plugs so he'll have that much longer to go before he needs to change again [Nice offer tho]. Plus Alex is an NGK man like myself
