I have them. They are nice plugs.
others will say they are expensive, but I like them cause I am lazy and they seem to last a little longer than other options.
however, you can't go wrong with the same plug in platinum.

I put them in this year only because the store I was at didn't have the platinums. I really doubt they are any better. I don't put many miles on my car so the platinums will probably last me forever anyway.

Yeah they are good, ive used them for almost 2 years in my daily driver 94 and they are still fine. I only paid $3.XXc AUD each for them though, i wouldnt consider them expensive. Im not sure what they are worth over there, or what they would be worth here to walk into a shop and buy at retail prices.

I like the NGK TR-55 Double Platinums. They're about $2.35 a plug and perform really well.
