Default Spark plug help

Hi guys and girls

My friend Aims has a Rotrex supercharged S2K and is looking to change her spark plugs, and wanting to know which ones are best for her car,
I have been told that one step colder then stock should be the ones to go for but no-body suggested a part number or make.

Not looking to break the bank so are there any you can recommend?

Thanks Rob

NGK BRIEX8 (something like that) or whatever they are, anyways they are 1 stage colder than stock. I run these and have no issues.

Obviously there are reasons why to run lower heat range plugs.

thanks for your help , spoke to a company and they have recommended some NGK heat grade 8 ( 1 step colder ) so they i imagine are similar to the ones you have mentioned.

cheers again for your help

NGK - BKR8eix check gaps carefully should be around 0.25 to 0.30"
