Default Which plugs?

Putting on headers, MSD wires and Koolsoxs next week.
Car is a 97,A4,315,z51, w/ intake and exhaust, hypertech.
Used for semi daily "spirited" driving.
Any recommendations on spark plugs?
Thanks
Mark

Unless you are "on the bottle", NGKTR55's are recommended by most.

IMO any platnum plug will do the trick, If you are into checking the plugs on a regular basis, you can even run a copper. You may have a problem with your MSD wires with your headers. The cool soxs work okay, but I am not sure how long they will last resting on the header. Try Taylor wires they are angled to clear the header.
