[QUOTE="justlooking, post: 2948568, member: 576315"] just my 2 cents so take it with a grain of salt. i never did like anything other then coper plugs. reason for this is that the metal is to soft and becomes warn too fast. iridiums are number one plugs that melt, especally if the middle of the spark plug is a small iridiums metal with what looks like to be ceramic around it (some ngk's) . what happens in most of my cars is the iridium metal in the middle melts off and get's kind of sunken in the cermac thus not creating a big enoughf spark for the gas to combust. on the other hand, standard coper core plugs tend to last longer then the iridiums and is a lot cheaper, but the bad thing about it is that the spark only travels from one metal to the next consistantly wearing out the coper. imagine heating up two metals using an electrict ark and makeing sure the ark hits the same spot everytime. the ark starts off bright and then starts to fade slowly. the reason ifor this is that the metal is coming hot and cold so often that layers of layers of micro metal is being chared and the ark has to past this layer to hit the metal. this is a common issue with standard spark plugs. so what's the solution to this. i found out that there is such a plug that you can use that has multi ground and lasts a long time. it's the only plug i buy for my cars, new and used. the only thing about this plug is it makes your timeing a little advance and your car will eat a little more gas then usual. but the performance increse is worth every penny. the site is [URL="http://www.haloplug.com"]http://www.haloplug.com[/URL] i remember my local dealer said something like they got bought out or something and had a new site. but i think this site still works. anyways have fun trying to find some good spark plugs. ps iridium plugs last only about 1000 miles before i feel performance lag coper plugs last about 5000 miles before i feel performance lag halo plugs is still lasting in my car w/o any performance lag and it's been over a year but can't tell you how many miles cause my odo is broken [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] sorry so long and thanks for reading [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
