The statement was made that Bosch plugs suck, and further modified to say that Bosch platinum plugs suck greatly (confirmed by another poster, who had had them fail quickly). However I've not yet seen anybody show that the Bosch Super plugs are a problem. The ones I have in my car are: FR8LCX, which in Bosch speak is:
F 16mm
R with suppression resistor
8 heat range
L thread length 19 mm
C copper
X 1.1 mm gap
The NGK OEMS are part number BKR5E-11. I couldn't find the translation for that on the NGK site but I'm going to guess that 11 is 1.1mm and that 5 is the heat range. Can somebody who speaks NGK part numbers give the full translation? Anyway, aside from (apparently) a different heat range in what way will these Bosch plugs suck compared to the NGKs?
