those are probally just bosch trying to compete w/ NGK on the laser platnum which is what I put in my car, the best ones are the regular NGK because they are copper which is the best conductor, if you get the leading and trailing, you will be set (they gave me all leading when I ordered them the 1st time I had to double check)

i actually just changed mine today, and got the regular ngk, BUR9EQ for the trailing and BUR7EQ for the lead.

the car runs WAY smoother, i really could tell the difference

maybe someone could help me though, as i think i lost some throttle response from it, i think that may be just because they are new or something, or maybe im just delirious

well i meant regular special ones.. if that makes any sense.. they were just the non-platinum NGK's for a 7, they woulda had to order the platinum or iridium ones
