Default Platinum to Iridium... nice...

Well, i was in the shop today after work.. i originally brought the car in the shop to clean the throttle body, which i did.. and now the car idles so much better... But while i was there, i pulled a plug and found out that the previous owner put NGK platinum plugs in the car... i had a set of NGK iridiums that i bought a while back and decided to just throw them in... the car seems to be a little smoother now... now i just need to rebalance the wheels, and bring the coilovers down about another 1/2 inch and i think ill be set for a little bit........ till the Diamond amps get here

I am not 100% sure but...
One time my budy who works in shop told me most Denso plugs are OEM by NGK. I think so far only NGK makes Iridum plugs, and a lot of dealer suggesting plug change at 90k because it is Iridum inside.

Besides, plugs are not that expensive and good for years. NGK Platium is around $9 per, and the Iridum one are around $15.

I bought a set of 8 NGK Iriduims off ebay... in original packaging.. new.. bla bla bla.. for 45 shipped.... not bad at all.

Im not sure about Denso plugs being OEM NGK's...
