I personally wouldn't use standard plugs at stage 1 again, I had problems with the engine missing a week after putting them in.  Stuck a set of NGK BKR7EIX in and it hasn't missed a beat since.

Alternatively get these

They are, but the VW standard changed to NGK for a while. They are now back with Bosch. Either works fine.
