Which OEM Spark Plug?
The iridium is not OEM to the S2000, the S2000 only came with the platinum plug, so there is only one oem NGK plug.
I actually prefer Iridium plugs as the center electrode is less prone to erosion compared to platinum, so it will wear down at a slower rate giving more consistent firing over the life of the plug. Some feel that the Iridium plug may be more prone to misfires, how I do not know, but that has been floated around.
Personally I run the NGK IX series of Iridium plug - NGK BKR7eix-11. I like the tapered ground electrode along with the iridium center electrode. I don't plan on leaving the plugs in my engine for 100k miles, I'll change them out much sooner than that. These plugs need to be gapped, but I know how to properly gap a plug. I also like to run a wider gap with my Okada coils.
Do a search you'll find lots of other opinions and info.
