not sure if they are better but alot more expensive. I will be putting them in on Friday after work. they are Bosch Platinum IR Fusion plugs. I think they were about 9.50 each.

The factory plugs are nearly that much! I'll probably use them again I guess, I have a set of GM Performance 8mm red wires, going to put in some new plugs, and clean the Blackwing too....just in time for the end of the season here! LOL!

I have not had to change plugs in my C5 yet, but in My C4 I have had the best of luck with platinums................
