I've never payed much attention to spark plugs. What makes the copper nkg's better than anything else? What are the quantifiable advantages. Better gas mileage? Documented HP or torque gains?

Anybody have some info for me? or better yet, some numbers?

Thanks

Platinum plugs last longer.. but dont give as much 'performance' as the copper plugs. Copper plugs dont last as long.. but are better performance-wise. No point in really buying the platinum plugs.. get better performance for less money. Changing the plugs is wicked easy with the right extension lengths.. i think i used like 3" and maybe 1"?

There is really no point in getting numbers on spark plugs, because the difference between type of spark plugs is small with in the brand. The only thing plug that I've heard that is worth looking into is the Pulsestar Pulseplugs, but those aren't completely reliable yet. So basically all your looking at right now is, how long do you want your plugs to last, but the problem is from what I can tell is the long the plug is used the plug will cause some degraded performance, which is why I say go with NGK power v where you just change them a bit more often, they aren't expensive or anything, like 2.50 each I think.

Dropped in 4 g power ngk. 2.99 a plug. The subaru feels great, low emission, smooth idling, and acceleration now.
