I had the silver tipped nology uprated plugs fitted to my car on Friday by Nick. As it was done as part of many other things, I can't make any comment on whether the make the blindest bit of difference, but Nick recommended them highly, so that's good enough for me  :nerd:

Question:
Aren't Platinum or Iridium spark plugs the best?

Answer:
No. As a matter of fact, Platinum and Iridium are some of the worst metal conductors. The reason why Platinum and Iridium spark plugs are used is for longevity only. They can last up to 100,000 miles. If you are looking for longevity, they are for you. If you are looking for performance, choose silver.
