i always ran bosch plugs in my last car and they worked really well. I am not sure if there is something that makes one plug good on one car and not on another. So that would be my suggestion. THe Titanium Bosch plugs.

Horrible recommendation......

If you're stock, and not FI (which you would use 1-2 steps colder), then use the oem NGK or Denso's.

Question? How long will the stock plugs go based on a Stock AP1 motor? The spec is 100K miles. What is practical and realistic? How about, valve adjustments? What interval is realistic?

I found these Plugs on eBay. Not sure which ones are the best, but you can't beat eBay

I have heard from other credible sources also that bosch plugs aren't the best choice for our cars. I have NGKs and they run fine... I'd say just get some NGKs for the stock NA application.
