For the v6, NGK BKR-5E11's. I've heard the same, stay away from splitfires and stuff.<P>------------------<BR>mason<BR>MX3SE<BR>ICQ#44771740<BR>

Everyone I've heard who got the Beru's has said they see no difference between them and BKR-5E11's except a big hole in their wallet.<BR><P>------------------<BR>mason<BR>MX3SE<BR>ICQ#44771740<BR>

Nippo Denso just came out with a new plug. <BR>They are called Iridium. They are classed as Ultra High Performance. Iridium (extracted from meteorites) is far superior to platinum - 6 times harder, 8 times stronger and able to take temperatures up to 1200 degrees hotter. they claim to give more horsepower, faster, easier starts, less misfires under heavy loads plus better fuel economy. They sound great but are they a hock of crap like the split fires? <BR> They run $11.99 a piece
