Spark Plugs..
Hi all
I will be servicing my MK2 VTS next weekend, and was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend some decent spark plugs, over the standard ones.

There are these
http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=210IK31620&a=i
I also remember reading in French Performance Car mag some plugs that Larkspeed had made/developed (?) that were supposed to be the dogs danglies. Can't seem to find a listing for them though. Iirc, they were a lot more expensive than £45.

if its a non turbo car do not worrie about spark plugs.

if u want improve the spark then clean up the earth to the engine block will improve the spark more than the differnce between the cheap plugs and the expensive ones.

Agreed. Turbo cars make the most from a good spark. From iridium's etc. If your going iridium go denso, if your going anything else go ngk. They have both been doing them for the longest respectively

Unless the spark is more powerful than another spark, and the spark gives a more evenly distributed and more powerful flame propagation than another spark.
