ignition25: The "IFR" and "BKR" prefix refers to the way the plug is built (ie. 14mm thread, 5/8inch hex, gasket seat), not to the materials used. The suffix "IX" refers to iridium. 
ShocK: Iridiums can be gapped with a normal gapper. It is wise, however, to be cautious not to damage the tips.
Hope that clears a couple things up.

Yeah better off not to touch em IMO, supposedly you can knock the tip off, if your retarded maybe, seems if it was that easy to come off it couldn't stay on at all lol They're welded on so maybe theres a possibility if one isn't welded to standards the tip could be knocked loose by a gauge.

are the same product?

To revive an older, but informative thread, I am curious as to why the IFR8H-11 is better than the BRK8EIX? Could you tell my your reasoning?
Thanks. Shock.

i'm still confused about the iridium 7746 model...is that better than the oem 7772?
or just a publication error...since it was fixed in the 07-08 catalogue?
