It depends on the hp and boost of your car.I would go for denso iridium ik20-27. im 500hp and im on ik24 whit no problems.

i'm running standard ford 071's
at 400 bhp with no prob
change them every couple months
no prob with them but they're only a tenner a set on ebay so might as well
mates got a 550bhp escort(pink 1 in sig) same plugs, no prob
other 1(black 1 in sig) is over 600bhp, again same plugs with no probs
just gapped right down, keep them fresh every couple of months
and you'll have no probs
