I have never had a issue with NGK Iridium plugs, Odd that they are not suggested.

$5.50 a plug for iridiums that is VERY cheap, honestly I as a business don't even come close to buying them that cheap...good deal if you ask me. BUY ALL OF THEM AND SELL THEM ON THE SIDE, seriously.

stock plugs are twice that.

1 step colder NGK copper plugs served my wrx very well. 60,000 modded miles and 0 ignition problems.

it's not a common size at auto shops, but pretty common at motorcycle shops.

Some places don't like making money.
Plus, plugs, oil, etc, are loss leaders at ****ty parts houses.

Set it and forget it!


nearly 70k miles these things will keep their gap, and they are pre-gapped out of the box...
