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.

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
