Question

Are these plugs too "hot" for a GS400 or are they a good plug to use?

Get the torquemasters instead. Bosch copied the torquemaster design. I just installed these plugs and I'm quite impressed with the glass smooth idle and perceived SOTP mild gain in power.

fever ....

can the Torquemasters be purchased locally or do you have to order them thru the mail or internet?

my mechanic was going to work on my car Sunday, so timing is an issue for me as far as how quickly I can get the plugs

Order them through torquemaster.com. It only took one week for delivery. And I installed them pretty easily with the exception of two tight areas from front left cylinder and back right cylinder. You just have to finesse it.

I have used these in my SC. 3 and 4 and they worked great. Whether they copied another design or not, they still performed very well. I have not done the plugs in the GS yet and am still debating OEM,+4, TM.
