    I have used the Bosch Platinum +4's and I like them..... A bit pricey though.

    Honestly, can anyone really tell the difference between sparkplugs?

    Most of my friends have had problems with Bosch... You best bet is to stay with OEM. Platinum 4s waste gas and only cause problems. STAY WITH OEM TRUST ME!!!

    NGK v-power's. they are the entry level plug but they work awesome. there's no real need to get super pimp plugs though, i mean, it's not like they are going to add 10hp or anything

    Bought my car with 118,000 miles on her. Got 166,00 now and am on the same plugs. Whatever comes out is going back in.

    OEM Bosch FR8DS. Only in extreme cases is there a need to use anything different than what the car came with. IE, unless your car is highly modified, you won't see any benefit, and are more likely to see problems by using plugs other than stock. Platinum +4s are the worst plugs you can use. They have a bad habit of losing tips into the cylinders. I don't think I need to explain the results of that.

    Dude, I think you have bigger problems than bad spark plugs. Have you taken a look at your pistons lately? Looks like you might be running a little hot.
