ECS tuning sells a pack of 8 for $79.95. Not sure if that's cheap or not :/

Comparison: Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs are about US$8 a piece at Pep Boys.

I was not happy at all with those bosch plugs. They were not nearly as good as the densos in my a8.

So what is the best mix for MPG and performance? Any drawbacks on the iridiums? How much mileage can they last?

bosch+4 are much cheaper I presume?

Default Got mine at AutoZone for $12.99 each...

I got them there because they said they could have them the next day (and they did) and I wanted to do the valve cover gaskets that weekend.
That was meromorial day, well still havent done the job so I guess it was a little much. (still no shipping charges, just tax)
Online it says the local stores cant get them but they could.

Default In converse, my car would not run on Iridiums...

Back fired and check engine light came on after 4.5k rpm every time like clock work. Went to the shop and they asked why would I use those if my audi was not TC'd (Uh, I don't know?), switched back...runs smooth as ice.
