What's your favorite spark plug?
I'm fixin' to replace my plugs. What is the best kind to get? I have a '98 coupe with no engine mods.

Beru Silverstone (part# S1K) (silver electrodes) gapped to 0.050
One problem, I believe that Beru no longer makes and/or imports these spark plugs into the U.S. but I believe that Nology (
http://www.nology.com/ has an alternative plug that is similar.

P.S. I was introduced about these silver electrode plugs by the user DJWorm on z06vette.com website.
