I want to put new plugs in my car. The Bosch +4s, I feel, are the primary cause of the reason my car is running the way it is. I have noticed progressively more roughed out idling, etc. I've also read reviews on these plugs online and seen that a lot of people don't really like them! What should I go with. I have always heard Autolite Double Platinum are a good deal for the money. I don't need any of the high performance plugs, because I don't have a modded ignition system (read it really doesn't boost power that much). Once again, thanks all!

I have the Bosch +4's and I never felt a problem (knock on wood)
You're right about the increase. Plugs are good if you are going to use 8mm wires and put together they might add 1 or 2hp

Stock plugs are best for our cars, unless you have nitrous, etc.

I have the NGK Double Platinums in my car now. They work great.

With a stock engine, I always use the OEM plugs that come in the car. That's what the factory tunes the engine for.

I recommend either NGK V-power, or ACDelco rapid fire plugs, those are the plugs I've seen the fewst prblems with, I worked at an auto shop before joing the military and all the +4's i've seen and used never lasted more than a few weeks, back when I had my integra, i destroyed a set of plus 4's in about 3 hours, they're not worth 4 bucks a pop.

Well guys, I coughed up the cash for the NGK Iridium plugs. I really like them. Since I put them in, the popping noise, drop in rpm upon warm start, and rough idling have all ceased to exist. Expensive at like $12 a plug but to get rid of that crap, the best investment I've made so far.
