Best spark plug recommendations?

Any spark plug recommendation? Changing them out soon and was wondering what everyone else is using or recommend for me to use. Currently just have a JB+ and Injen CAI on my 228ix

Go with the stock NGK plugs. If you up the boost past the + to the Stage 1 or higher just tap them to the recommended.018.

This is the NGK part number for the stock iridium plugs for the N20. No matter what, check the gap using shins instead of the crap round thing people seem to love using. If you do it yourself please search in the maintenance section of this forum and find the special socket you will need ($15 on Amazon) and the procedure.

You will probably have to order them from whatever parts place you choose.
