NGK - great plugs, they're in everything that has a spark plug in my
garage.
In reality any plug these days is decent. What do you really want? If
"good" means "run forever", then get any platinum or iridium plug and
replace them every 50K or so.The biggest drawback to long life plugs
is that people totally ignore tham. If a plug sits in your head for 5
or 10 years, you may find that it strips the threads out when you
finally do remove it. They need to be at least looked at every few
years. That way you can look for signs of internal distress.
Way OT: I scrapped the US$18 Audi iridium plugs in my wife's chipped
1.8T for US$2.50 NGK copper plugs because they shed heat from the tips
so much better than the OEM ("good") plugs, allowing more power at
high rpm/ high boost without the ECU having to back off on the timing.
In this case better is cheaper. But I have to check the gap every 5K
miles. Most people wold find that totally unacceptable these days.
When in doubt, rplace them with the exact ones that came from the
factory.
