Bosch Platinum 4+ Spark Plugs
I bought these recently and haven't put them in my SVX yet but was wondering if anyone has had experiance with these and should I keep them or fork out $2 for the NGK? Please don't post "they are crap because I think they are" I'd like a little info not just straight opinion Thank you~
*EDIT* I said screw it and went back and got the NGK after looking around some more. they are the NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs, $8 a peice lets see how they par up against the Autolite or what ever that is in there now.

The Bosch Platinum +2 and +4 plugs aren't "crap", I just don't think they are worth $12 each or whatever the heck they cost. Yes, I know iridium plugs are not cheap, but they last 90,000 miles, and in my opinion (especially if you are paying the dealer 3 hours to replace your spark plugs) it's worth the extra $ per plug, to not have to worry about it for 90,000 miles.

Remember that our cars are very picky about plug brand and material also.
My ebony had problems and wouldn't start for awhile......all because I put Autolites in it. It's back to NGK Iridiums and is running perfect. Dustin

I have ran bosch +4s running n/a for years and even with a 50 shot zex,but that was me also the svx calls for plat. but for my best,my best plug for nitrous was the regular cheap autolite nonresistor plugs,the reason for my choices was because I had an exhaust temp gauge installed in each manifold.
