having spent more time I'd want reading up about plugs the general consensus seems to be that stock plugs are fine for a stage1, nology silver if you want to go all out.

NGK BKR8's - Ran them the past couple of years in both my ED30's from stage 1 through to 2+ Never had a problem and at £25 a set they're a bargain. :)

Oe ones are fine up to stage 2+. As Shorth says the NGK 8s do work but if you are doing lots of short journeys, then they will carbon up as they will never get hot enough to burn the carbon deposits off. I tried the NGK 7 iridium and 8s. I found my engine ran best using the bosch std plug.

I tried all those plugs too. I found the NGK 8's never quite felt like they gave full power. The 7's are good but I always liked the Bosch plugs best.
