They aren't cheap however they can last to about 100,000 miles I heard. I got my set from ebay.

http://www.groupbuycentre.com has some good deals on them sometimes.

Iridium is better than platinum... longer lasting and less effort required to create a spark. That's the short explanation.

No problem. For all intensive purposes Platinum is fine... if money is a concern for you that is.

Unless you can get a good deal on Iridium, then go for it! Calculate the cost to use ratio. Platinum needs to be changed about every 60000 miles and Iridium every 100000 miles, do you do the math.

That's 11.99 US dollars. As for your mechanic charging $15...he's ripping people off. LOL

11.99 per spark plug + shipping probably ends up being very close to 15$.

I think its not a good idea to go turbo on your engine unless you do a complete rebuild before.Or what you can do is wait for your engine to die and get a 3s-gte in your car .With a 3s-gte you can get a good 350FWHP+ so that might be the best way to go IMHO.
