Default Spark Plugs for Stage 3 4 x 4.
Can somebody please tell me the difference between Champion 57c & 59c plugs. Are they suitable for a stage 3 4 x 4 Sapphire and if not which are?

Cheers

Better off with 57c's as they run cooler. Personally from experience I'd use NGK9s.

Various peeps on here sell them like Stu.

Only my personal experience but i found that the more expensive NGK plugs last 3 or 4 times as long as Champion plugs, champions used to last about 2-3k in my stage 3 motor.

Go for NGK plugs
