do not use the bosch iridiums, they look better cause of that four prong thingy. but everyone says they suck with ka's.

Yeah but when your car is parked you're not going to know the difference. Yeah, maybe a little but I need to know how they work under load with heavy acceleration and all that jazz.

Bosch makes tons of great products but yeah I don't think those 4 prong spark plugs would work very well. Seems to me you would be more likely to kill the spark since it is spread out in 4 directions instead of one. But they do look pretty cool.


I can never remember if I get NGK or Denso. Both work and I kinda just grab one or the other. Pretty sure I have NGK iridium in both my sports cars.

Copper conducts better but doesn't last as long. Iradium lasts longer but isn't quite as good. Honestly, unless you are putting 600+ HP down you probally won't even notice the difference.

Pops, bangs, booms, cracks... its the normal life when you drive a Subaru :rofl:

Popping under decel with no exhaust is normal. When your blowing out the spark you'll hear popping while accelerating.
