Default Iridium Plugs

Hey guys!

Just wondering. Does Denso or NGK make Iridium plugs specifically for our cars? I did a search and found some dicussion, but not exactly what I'm looking for. It looked like people found some that fit, but maybe they were not the right ones...

So if they make them, what are the right model/part numbers?

Also does anyone sell them online?

Damn James, I thought these are like the number one essential upgrade in Japan. Alot of JDM cars come with standard iridium plugs these days, I'm not surprised at all. It's more like an essential than a choice.

When the platinum plugs first came out... there were a lot of talk of how they make power etc etc. So do iridium plugs REALLY make more power? I mean many folks said "oh it's better, better idle" etc... but when ever you place old plug with new ones, this is always the case......

comments?

thanks,
