| alright you know how you always hear this spark plug is better or this one is but which ones are really the best we got the good ol' fashioned coppers that require you to gap them then we got the platinums and the double platinums the E3's which boast that their special design allows the boom to go in all directions then you got your iridiums which seemed to rum good in my Mystique but haven't tried them in the Eclipse on have used the E3's so far then you got the Bosch I2's or I4's or whatever you call them where they have multiple metal ends around the center conductor Bosch's I always get mixed messages from people mechanics and consumer's alike I just don't hear much of the others now what do you guys run what really bring the fire to your heart...the BOOM! to your block what's the what's your spark of life what's your reccomend and maybe I even missed one that yo guys have | |

They are about $2 a plug and work great. Don't buy into the hype and spend a fortune on plugs. | |

| Dont buy into the Hype, E3s are overpriced crap. Good old fashion NGK coppers. 4306's for my car is 1 step colder.
On a turbo car that your serious about running, you shouldnt be leaving your plugs in that long to begin with, so theres no reason IMO to step up to more expensive Iridium's. Platinum plugs and turbos dont mix either, platinum stays hot to long | |

| I've run the same plugs for 5 years and always been at the same power level each year on the dyno. All with $8.00's worth of plugs. And when I say same plugs I mean I have never changed the plugs, pull them every once in a while to look at them but if your car is running and getting the plugs to self cleaning temps you should be fine running them for a long time. | |

I hate you, jerk! I believe Jason uses the same plug as myself, minus his is a different size, hence the different stock number. | |

| Whatever you do, don't buy the E3's... many a people I talk to actually LOST performance and MPG's shortly after putting these in. I had them in for about 3 months before I went from 23 MPG to about 17... then went back to good ole NGK's... I use Iridiums but thats just my preference. | |
