Hi guys.
The group buy for the iridium plugs looks good but I just want to find out what heat range is best for my driving style.

I mainly do highway driving, approx 500K per week and a little bit of a thrash on the odd weekend. fairly conservative driving.

Also I'd like to know, If my car was getting tuned by a hondata dealer, would they recommend iridium plugs be installed ??

In what circumstances would a tuner install std plugs over iridium ??

id get as hot as u can get.. u will hardly ever have the need to get a cold plug unless ur turbo...

i have seen some tuners change iridium plugs to platinum coz of the iridium fouling up.. but never back to stock ...

hope that helps.

if a plug fouls up then the problem lies deeper

EG92b16 = get 7's for your car

Typically std Honda ECU = 6's
Tuned ECU = 7's
