3rd gen trailing plugs, whos running them?

I have read in a couple of post of people running 3rd gen Trailing plugs all around.

This sounds like a good Idea to me.

Any opinions.

ive been using 3rd gen leading and trailing plugs in my gsl-se, its not turbo so i'm not running trailings all the way 'round. the 3rd gen plugs are platinum so theoretically they last longer, and they are the same price as the non platinums. i did not notice any difference in power, starting, idling etc

I used them for about a year after I bought a brand new 12a SP. They did make more power, were very drivable with crisp throttle response, smooth, and lasted longer than non-platinum version of the same plug.

Worth every $.01
