What spark plugs do you run on a stock svx?

I am just curious on what spark plugs everyone is running on a 100% stock svx. What is the best spark plug to use?

NGK Platinum is really popular from what i hear. Don't go with 2 or 4 prong plugs, everyone tells me they're terrible.

I use the stock NGKs. The originals that I took out at 133k were in fine shape. I see no reason to use anything else.

Just go to a parts house and ask for plugs for your car. Most all of the NGK's are pregapped.

I picked up a set of NGK iridium's for my SVX back when I used to have it, and it did worlds of wonder

The OEM replacement plug is an NGK double platinum
ngk; pfr6b-11
subaru part # 22401AA370
they will come pre-gapped.
gapping a double platinum yourself can damage the platinum.
