Just a piece of advice. Never buy Bosch platinum 4's. Because after a lil while of using the pieces start to break off and cause BIG problems. Belive me, i work at a dealership with morons that replace their plugs with other than factory.

hold on thier dude factory parts aren't always the way....or affordable....the plug is a good idea in theroy but are a waste of good $$$$ and your right tends to weaken and break off.....a plat plug is good because of it way of heating up quickly and plat is a good conductor..but let be real there only plat plated as plat is like 450.00 an ounce

ok that helps me out, a bit, i guess i asked the wrong question.
hows this, is there a spark plug out there that are better than others, for eg, responce, durability, ect ect.
sorry for the first stupid question,

im not new to cars, just new to new cars, i want it to last as long as it can and not break down because i used cheap parts.[sm=boosign.gif]
thanks

Well, it wasnt a stupid question. Everyone asks different kinds of questions. I personally used NGK for a long time then got nitrous and now i run Copper.
