Default Denso Iridium Vs. Torqumaster

I have a 99 GS4 would I see any difference if I went to either of these plugs? Which is better? Where can I get the best price

Hoffman,

I believe the Denso Irridium IS the stock plug in a GS4. I have the TM's in and like them. I believe Steve Ganz (SupraTRD on CL, www.l-tunedparts.com) can still get them. Otherwise you can get them directly from the manufacturer.

I talked to Longo Lexus (Verone) and he said that the 99 GS300 came with Irridium Spark plugs and that I didn't have to change it until 100k. I would assume that if the 300 comes with it, the 400 must too.

yeah, the GS4 comes with the iridium plugs. personally, i prefer the iridium plugs over the TM plugs.

the poll should be edited to either iridium or TM's cuz stock is iridium.

I picked up a set of TM from Steve long time ago. Couldn't really tell you the performance gain since I've never dyno the car. But I have not yet encountered any problem with these aftermarket plugs.
