How many people have hadf a problem with these?

I ordered the bosch platinum plus 4 plugs along with all my tune up equiptment, and someone on here mentioned that some people have had problems with their wires popping off of their bosch platinums... anyone on here have this problem? if so would you consider throwing these in the garvage and getting ngk's?

i hear EVERYONE who tries bosch plugs has problems with them. NGK is the recommended replacement, and after everyone's changed over they say that no issues occur.

bro, your car has an intended spark to make it work perfectly. so why try and change that spark all it will do is f$#@ stuff up. sorry if you already payed for em. but hell you might get lucky so try it out for your self if you want.

I was the one that mentione the bosch plugs, I mentioned that, because I have been reading for years on here, even back when it was a-cl.com and everyone said that they had problems with the bosch. I got NGK's and I love them, my car is responsive and happy. I'm glad too, cuz originally i was considering bosch, till I read everyone's horror stories. Personally i'd say sell the bosch's on ebay, and buy some ngk's.

I ask this because NGK's website shows this price difference. It just seems weird to me.

Iridiums v Double Platinums

Thanks.

If you look through their breakdowns, the iridium is their #1 plug, it also works with nitrous, where the platinums don't

I think it's the bosches with the 4 spark prongs. I have heard of people with all differnt kinds of cars that had problems with those. I've tried the regular ones and were fine, even still I went back to stock anyway. just to be safe
