RA,
I thought they were Denso Iridium plugs as well.
Ragarding changing the plugs, I think Percy changed his plugs to a brand called Torquemaster, if I am spelling it right, and he said he felt a noticeable difference compared to the stocks. I am happy with the stock plugs, but I am starting to think maybe I should change the plugs. Quit confusing me guys

I have a GS300 and have a 60k mi service in a few thousand miles. They said that the plugs are usually changed if I don't have the Iridiums, which I don't think I do. Would these work on GS300s? Would these be good replacements?
I don't know. The price of the service between getting plugs replaced and not is about $300 ($699 vs $999). I don't know what else they do to warrant $300. The plugs are not worth that much.

Of course it would make a big difference if he put the Toquemaster plugs in after he was running on very old and corroded stock plugs. I would be interested to see if he had new stock plugs and tested the car immediately before he tested with the other plugs.

I'll give you an example of the very first thing I noticed when I switched to the torquemasters-the tach charged to redline imo much faster and more fluidly. It was like someone sprayed some WD-40 on my tach needle.
Also, I know our stock GS 4's are quick, not blazing...BUT, after adding my SRT intake/ecu, Borlas, and Torquemasters, I sometimes get that "oh **** feeling" in my stomach because the car is going just that much quicker than it was at stock. I firmly believe the torquemasters provide the definitive kick that my car's breathing desperately needed.

Plus, platinum/iridium is a relatively poor conductor compared to the standard nickel and copper.
just some stuff to think about...
