Default Thumbs up - just installed them last weekend.

$5.99 each but it's worth it. Throttle response back, hard starting gone, and revs climb more freely.

I had heard that there were some problems with the platinum tip disintegrating, since it was platinum coated (if you will), but apparently the process has been changed or upgraded or something to eliminate thtat problem. Anyway, I went with them and no probs yet.

Default i just installed them as well, i felt a huge diff right away and that was only with 5 of the 6 plugs

The plugs in the engine looked pretty bad, rusty, dirty. It said NGK and had the audi rings on it. I didnt do a 60K service so i guess its been in there for a while since i have 73k on the car now. I finally got to the last plug the next day.

Default Thanks for the feedback...

my dealer was the one who recommended them, they said that they install them during the service and they said I may be able to pick them up myself for less.
