yea, they're good plugs,,

they should be pregapped, but of course, like with many things I would double check them to begin with before installing them into the car

i enjoyed mine *when i replaced them, they really need it, car was suggish down low*

then, along came the bent plug issues, blown out plug, and bent valve..

all not related to NGK plugs however .
