My stock plug broke inside and blew my motor. Are stock plugs really the best?
Are you the original owner?

If you have a MY00, you had the pre-updated spark plugs. The spark plug torque was increased from 12 ft lbs to 18 ft lbs. The plugs may have been mishandled, or improperly installed.

Yeah, I had the recall done. Maybe they over torqued them?
Did you be having an Iridium center electrode, or a platinum center electrode?

They were the stock plugs- car had 40k miles so I never had a reason to touch them. All I know is I had to pay $1100 and wait 3 months 
But I did get a brand new motor and a mis-installed clutch. Oh and the yforgot to connect the v-tec solenoid and to fully bolt up my rad fans. And torque down my radiator stays. And they didn't bother attaching the harness and wires to the clips so they were bouncing of the belts.
