agreed ngk all the way. if ur doing the 2gdfis you can use second gen lead plugs too not sure if there was any real performance boost when i did it, but the threads are the same, and iirc it *should* give a longer hotter spark, but i could be wrong

I use the Denso W25EDR14, they have been working great for me. Denso is th original manufacturer and I'm a big stickler for original. Gap is preset on the denso plugs also. Whatever you do, don't put autolites in there.

I think NGKs are OEM, not Denso.

Either way, they're pre-gapped and ready to go.
