I don't see a problem with ngk's, i think you will find most people using these plugs, you just need to find which is the correct heat range for your car i'm sure someone will know.

i have heard about them, they are supost to save on fuel and increase on performance but i dont know anyone who is running them so i would take that as being the case.
I would go with the ngk's. thats what i am using |

Halo plugs instead of using a single bent electrode for the arc to spark across use three holding a ring. The idea is to increase the number of sparks across to light the fuel more effectively. Actually any effect would be marginal at best. Typically any well adjusted/gapped plug will light the fuel effectively and give you an optimum burn and hence performance/economy.
The main advantage of iridiums is they hold the correct gap for longer and need less in the way of adjustment. In of themselves they don't give a direct performance advantage, they just need less maintenance to hold onto the natural performance. NGK's or Denso as mentioned above are perfectly fine |
