i've ran both on my DA before i just notice the NGK's made it run cleaner and a bit better on response.

something that i was taught along time ago and i have found to be very true...NGK Japanese(only), Bosch German(only). the way i see it is, it only takes one spark to ignite the gases in the combution chamber. dont waste ur time with that multi spark junk. im running ngk iridium and have no complaints.

If you have a stock motor with no forced induction it really does not matter what plugs you use, you won't see any 'performance gains' from iridium or any other plugs. Go with the cheapest NGK or Bosch plugs that are OEM spec and just call it a day.

Shit just get the right temperature spark plug for your application

A lot of hype behind specialty plugs, seems silly. I've always run NGK basic copper plugs, the 'R' model, like $2.39 each most places. Never had a single issue on mine or customers' cars. A more expensive plug may last a bit longer but in the end they all wear similar.

And as mentioned, use NGK. The whole German plugs in a Japanese car really do has some value. Same goes for Ac Delco, Champion, Autolite, any of that US crap, they're not as good a quality.

I ran NGK BK7RE on my on KA24DE-T with a T28 and had ZERO complaints. Made my shit feel like a ROCKET.
