DO NOT GET PLATINUM!!!
The copper costs less and conducts better.
I forget the model number, since I shitcanned the boxes once they were in the car, but get the plugs from a 98 Altima if you have a twincam.

I usually run the NGK iridiums but at minimal power levels I don't think it would make TOO much of a difference.
Also I am not a fan of Bosch so I usually go with NGK sometimes Denso

Platinum presents no increase in performance.
Sure, it SOUNDS pretty because we know that platinum is some expensive shit. It is expensive because it is hard. It is used for the application because it lasts long, but it is a SHITTY conductor compared to copper, AND it costs more.
That is why not platinum.
