VR6Nat 9 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hey Guys... Just wondering if there is any real noticable difference between the Bosch spark plugs and the NGK ones... the problem i have is i want to change the plugs so they are nice and fresh so i dont have to worry about them for a while.... but im skint... i dont want to spend out £7 or £8 per plug for NGK ones if they aren't THAT different to the £2 or £3 Bosch ones from GSF.I need some opinions from people who have run both because when buying 6 of them it works out a lot of difference and if the Bosch ones do the job nicely then ill go for them... Thanks in advance :) Link to post Share on other sites

I run ngk as does tony, jim and a fair few others.Mine didn't run right with Bosch plugs either so swapped to ngk and ran better Link to post Share on other sites
