      +4 are a waste of money, just get Regular Bosch Platinum or Rapidfires.

          Why are they a waste of money? They have 4 little things ont them?

          Are bosh platnium the best plugs?

            People think that just because they have "4 little things on them" they are better.

            The 3 extra prongs do nothing (except drive up the price). A spark only follows one path to ground. If anything they restrict the explosions access to air/fuel.

            If you do decide to go with the +4's, I have some Blinker fluid and Muffler bearings to sell you. :rolleyes:

                Funny you mention exhaust bearings. We actually tricked one of my friends into going down to AUTOZONE part store and asking for exhaust bearings. He probly felt like a big dumb *** . It was so funny.

                    Your a funny guy [img]smile.gif[/img] I will buy that blinker fluid cuz Im on low right now. Blinkers blinking kindda slow too.

                    ANYWAYS, regular +2 or +4, would Bosch Platnium plugs be a good choice for our cars? Or is there soemting better?

                      regular bosh platinum. thats what i just put in my car when the power pack was installed. the mechanic said that was all i really needed and not to waste my money on the +4. i would not have minded putting in ngk, i hear they are the berst out there.
                      6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

                        I've heard the same thing about the +4's from other people... I had a friend go ahead and put them on his '94Z anyways and he's not having in problems. Probably would have gotten the same results out of the normal plat's too though.

                        I'm running Rapidfires right now, thats what was highly recommended back when I did my plug/wire change last summer. No complaints yet [img]smile.gif[/img]

                          I use NGK TR55's..

                          I prefer copper plugs over platinum.. Plats will last longer but coppers will burn better.

                          do NOT use platinum plugs with nitrous!!!

                              gonna do the once a year tune up (just got the car last year) and was wondering...basically the same question, more like this:

                              which copper plugs should i get? I know platinums last longer, but isn't there long life coppers?
                              what wires should be picked to go with...and what else goes along with this that i'm forgetting?
