Can't help with what grade etc - But I do know that the jp4 engines use different size plugs to a normal j4.
You probably already know this.. But I don't know if you have the engine there or not, so just incase you was buying for when it comes.

Im not at home right now so can't tell you the exact model I use, but as pointed out j4 and jp4 differ. J4 plugs do not protrude past the head enough (jp4 plugs are longer). If you don't have a reply by tonight when I'm back home I'll dig out some part numbers for you.

the other may be ok for the jp4 if they need longer?bes off checking ho much longer you need though

Ads sorry mate, completely forgot. Now on iPad. I do run evo plugs, (evo x). Heat range 8 for me - NGK R2556B. You may not need 8's tho which brings the cost down. Try standard evo x plugs and see how you get on.
