Are Iridium plugs worth it?
I need new plugs and was thinking about getting Iridium plugs, but wanted to get some feelings on them first, are they really worth the money? So what are some thoughts?

They were denso.
I had them for about 4 months, and the car started to run horrible. I yanked the plugs, and the electrodes were about half gone. |

Go with NGK v-powers, platniums, or iridiums...you are mostly likely going to get the best results from the platniums, all NGKs stuff is very good.

I had them and were not impressed at all. Now I run just the basic $1 Autolites and have had not one regret since.

I have Denso Irridiums..
SLightly better I think.. For sure there is an improvement in throttle response. Worth it if you ask me.. Especially if you got any FI or anything which raises compression.

Those are perfect..
You could have gotten plats, but if your engine is pretty stock, not worth it.

check this out.. I took my old plugs out, and looked at them, they were actually colder plugs for a D15, Nopi sent me the wrong plugs when I ordered them last time. Well I put the hotter plugs for the D16 back in and it idles and sounds so much smooter..
Just thought Id share that.
