Changed Spark Plugs

Just changed my spark plugs to Delco Iridums. Car has 45K. its a FRC 2000. I wanted to change the plugs because I wanted to makes sure the stock ones weren't still there. I discovered that the car did not have the stock plugs in. Apparently, it had had a plug change before, well before the 45K mile mark. The plugs still looked good, according to my mechanic. However, the plugs it had in were BERU Silverstone. Anybody know of this plugs? My mechanic did not know about these. Just curious.

Thanks.

I put these in my car about 300 miles ago. I'm a bit "old school" and I read about these somewhere and thought that I'd give it a go. Beru is a German company and makes a full line of plugs for use in European cars. The center electrode is silver not platinum, and silver is supposedly a better electrical conductor. Here's a link to some information: http://www.nology.com/silverdetail.html
