i just put mine in tonight. i bought them because i have NOS and have melted a spark plug before (not good). i'm using the IK20s but if you're not using forced induction (nitrous, turbo or supercharger), stick with the IK18s. The IK16 is stock plug, the 18s are a little colder and the 20 even mmore cold. if you run to cold a plug, then they will just fowl up eventually.

I think I wanna get these plugs too but which ones should I get? The 16's or the 20's? I don't plan on getting NOS or any type of forced induction just headers in the future. I want them for the gas mileage benefit. And where do I get these plugs for the best price?

FYI fellas.. our cars cojme with stock platinum plugs if you didnt know...

also if you are looking to upgrade plugs, do not forget your wires aswell.... get an 7-10 mm (stock is 5 / 6 i believe) wire for best flow...

I have the bosch platinum plugs with magnecore racing wires (7mm)... no noticeable difference.. but its a personal satisfaction!!!
