Default changing spark plugs

I am looking to change my spark plugs on my 2.5 mondeo. I was going to Fit Bosch Super 4 plugs but they don't seem to make them. does anyone know of any equivalent parts?

Thanks, Dan

I've used the bosch 4 plugs before and really don't rate them, the 4 electrodes are for longer service life, they don't give 4 sparks like some think.
Is there not a iridium plug that you could use, like the ace Nippon Denso IK range ?, pretty sure the V6 are using the IK16 plugs.

Yes I understand that they give no real performance upgrade, I purely want them for longer life. I will have a look at that range
