What spark plugs

I'm getting ready to do some servicing on my '89 Carrera 3.2. Regarding sparkplugs, what are you guys running? The stock/standard Bosch or? I was looking at the Perforance Auto catalog and saw the Nippon Denso's @ $11.99. These plugs come in most Japanese sport bikes. Any good in our cars?

I'm assuming that Mahle is the OE manufacturer for Porsche filters?

Thanks,

David

I like NGK plugs and use them in the '88 3.2 in my car. For yours, I think the correct NGK plug would be a BPR6ES. They're only a couple of dollars each.

What Mike said....if you do go the Bosch route (or any other), just make sure they're copper.

I have a 81 SC and went with the NGK and I really like them. Price is right and the engine runs much smoother
