I had denson iridium tough's in mine for the last 2 years, just swapped to bosch super 4's and the bosch feel no differant. Paid £40 for the denso's i think, paid £8 for the bosch.

Nothing noticable, especially when the denso's came out still looking good. Only did about 8,000 on the denso's so they weren't on there last leg's or anything.

Would be interested to see any improvement, although much of it is in the mind i think!?  :laugh:

I think one of the best advantages is the lower ignition power required to get a good clean spark. 0.4mm center electrode might save a few coil packs and ignition amps. plus the cooler plug should help with mapped engines. i would put your denso's back in  :smiley:

Ok guys, had them in a week now, but not ideal weather for putting the power down!

so far they are running great, very smooth, idle is amazingly smooth, and the car feels strong with these and very smooth right up the rev range. I now have to blip the engine to make sure its running as its hard to tell from inside the car when sat at lights or a junction. ive just given it a blast and it feels great, when you see the tip on these plugs you can just see how the spark will be strong and exposed to the mixture.

great buy me thinks and well worth the extra over standard plugs for mapped cars!
