Go back with what the SVX calls for which was NGK. only had to change mine once in all the years I had it. They are good for about 80k max but they will be worn slap out by then. If I'm recalling right I think book calls for those to be changed every 60k. which would be about accurate with what I saw. I know there are other plugs but honestly your not going to get a whole lot of bang for what you'll spend. so I just stick to what I know works. ( usually cheaper in the long run ) as we all know SVX loves your wallet and getting cozy with it. but it's worth it.
May you have many years of fun and many miles..

Hey Ryan, thanks for the info but are you replying to my post? I replaced my spark plugs with the factory Subaru spark plugs at between 110,000 - 160,000 miles and the originals replaced were still in perfect working condition. My car runs awesome down the road so I know it's fairly sound mechanically. It seems that I may have a vacuum leak or faulty valve somewhere in the EGR system somewhere though that is making it idle rough and the RPMs to oscillate only when it's warmed up.
I fixed my starting issue last week...it was the wire going from my negative battery post to underneath the battery where it terminates/grounds to the frame. It starts PERFECT now.
