Which am I better of with? does it make a difference?
The 2nd link NGK ones seeem REALLY cheap, are they complete crap or are spark plugs genuinely not that expensive?
Do you think they are this cheap in a shop? Would like to change them tomorrow but if shops charge lots then I shall order them on eBay
Sorry if its already been asked before
Cheers

No no there just not.
Some saxo's have problems running on them due to the coil packs. So you could spend the money on them fit them and have your car run like a bag of knackers. I personally would go with the o.e ngk r plugs.

completley agree, i had them in my car as i thought they would be better, i put up with them for a whole month before putting some NGKs in. They were awful, so un-responsive and the car just felt underpowered.

Ok then, on most cars they are. I didn't know about possible problems running them on a Saxo.

I service 2-3 saxo's and 106's a week and have used them on a few occasions where the customer has supplied them and the car has run shit and lumpy not saying its on all of them but deffo been a problem.
And the plugs are far from the best anyways
