Workmanship?

Check the workmanship of the Bosch Plugs that are NO LONGER made in Germany(Brazil & India now). Check the posts. Many wrenches are switching to NGK just for the NGK better part quality/workmanship alone(heartbreaking sad for BOSCH). IMHO NGK has taken the quality/workmanship lead and has more granularity of heat ranges. Just ask the old school motorcycle guys about using NGK. I use a step colder BPR8ES(Bentley Plugs) NGK to keep engine temps down(NGK higher numbers are colder). I grew up on German BOSCH plugs/ignition in VWs so this is not pleasant to post. HELLO BOSCH!!!

I don't know what engine your running them in so can't really tell you the heat range you need but for me it's NGK's. Better value and last just as long.

just the good old single electrode copper are the best, quality is a issue but no need for the multi electrode platinum coated pricy ones. Unless the factory calls out for a specific one.

For me the NGK's are choice. The number one reason is because they fit in the stock spark plug wrench better, they don't fall out. The Bosch plugs fall out and I don't like fishing them back out.
