Default denso iridium plugs who runs there cars on them ??

Ultra Fine Electrode

By harnessing the power of Iridium, DENSO is suddenly able to shrink the surface area of the center electrode - the critical component of a spark plug. Unlike a typical platinum plug that has a 1.1mm diameter center electrode, DENSO Iridium Power plugs have the world's smallest center electrode measuring 0.4mm in diameter. This means that the voltage requirements are decreased while firing performance is greatly improved.

Always had a very very slight miss with the IK27s(same with two sets) that dissapeared after fitting cheaper plugs.

I now run BCR8E's with no issues.

Had the densos in the escort and as above, lost a tip. Used 071s from Mike ever since and never had an issue with them.

I use Denso. The only plug I can use with a 200 shot of gas & make it last, if you are using the correct grade for its purpose they are the best.
