Replacement Spark Plug Recommdations

Can anyone give me a recommendation on replacement spark plugs for my 99R? Not looking for any snake-oil plugs, just OEM or comparable..

Thanks!

OEM Champions listed in the owner's manual.

I've run NGKs in other vehicles with good success. I may look into it.

Go with the OE plugs. You will be much happier. They aren't cheap, $15.15 each. But, they will make the car run properly.

Agreed, I got 8x Iridiums for mine from my local main agent, car ran better. He knocked 25% off for being a JEC member, nice touch....

Amazon.com has the NGK Iridiums under $8.00 Thats where I got mine, and they work great.

Do you have a part number on the Iridiums? The Platinum plugs I have been looking at PFR5G-13E Amazon has but will only sell you three for some insane reason. They are limiting the quantity available "so everyone has an opportunity" they said.
