I've always used NGK. Awesome brand, cheap plugs (about £10 for a set of 4 from ebay). Part number is BKUR6ET-10.

A spark is a spark. There is no performance to be gained from spark plugs unless you spend £80+ on them special ones that give off a massive spark.

NGK's are great quality, great value for money and they've never let me down. They have 3 electrodes so for those who think 3 is better than 1, then it pleases them too  :smiley:

You'll probably notice 0.1mpg improvement if that, and that';; be from having new plugs rather than fancy bosch ones. Unless the old plugs are completely shot and have lost most efficiency then you won't really see any improvement. Don't pay for the brand, pay for what it does  :smiley:
