Default cossie spark plugs again

Right i have a stage 3 esc cos and am running the denso plugs which are running fine. I have some 071's which run lumpy at idle, i rang EA and he recommends champions 59 c's i rang SCC they recommend champion 57c's. I dont wish to use the denso anymore as i have heard rumours they aint that great. Someone on here said the 59's will have bad idling and i thought the 57's were for cars with more bhp??????? So why is it running fine with one set and crap on another???

071's in mine - 22psi and around 300 bhp - more than impressed by them, and at 12 quid a set, good value too

I use c59's, only have a bad idling when engine is cold, disappears when it's getting hot so I'm happy with them. Will try the 071's soon
