BKR6EIX or BCPR6ET, there's only about £8 between them, is it worth it?

what the difference in them. i use standard single electrode plugs and just change them more often. triple electrode plugs are used just to increase service intervals. so its up to you.

standard plugs are twin electrode

BKR6EIX is an Iridium version which i currently have in my car but i havent noticed any difference between those and standard BKR6EK

Dont waste your time with precious metals or anything fancy.

Plain old stock plugs are all you need, single electrode copper items.

iridium and platinum are horrible conductors.

Just to let people know, these can be picked up from ebay for a total of £12 inc. P&P.

I always buy them from there now, so much cheaper than everywhere else. ;)

Linky!

Why do people think that they will notice a difference between different sets of plugs.

"yeah changed mine to triple lec plugs, cant really notice a difference"

lol makes me laugh

They are single electrode thus superior to the twin electrodes.

yeah well I would put performance and reliability above service life myself.
BRUN

id say the EK's would be more reliable, since they have a longer service life

anyway, ive tried the BKR6EIX in mine and didnt notice any difference
