Default Iridium Spark Plugs

I'm approaching 110k and I wanna do my own little tune up. I just had the Serpentine belt done. I kinda wanna change the plugs myself. I bought some iridium Plugs and was wondering if anyone else has them installed. Is there a noticable performance difference?

Default Not at 60K

Did not notice a difference when i switched them out at 60K.

One word of caution, adjusting the gap can be a little tricky because the "tips" are so thin and small. If you use too much force, in the wrong direction, you'll bend/break the tip.

Good luck,
Eric
