Ive been trying to decide on what plugs to use in my fd. After researching and talking to some people I noticed that not everyone uses 9's all around according to their upgrades. So heres my question when is it reccomended to start using 9's for leading? Sorry im still working at getting to know rotaries a little better. Thanks

I use the stock plugs on a fully modded FD. Still have the twins, and they are still sequential, but I have all the other mods. No problems so far..

I think I got 7's and 9's ????? I ordered some 6's and 8's and then asked people and they said not to use those, so I ordered the other ones, and then people told me to just runs 9's all around, I am/was like MAKE UP YOUR ****** MIND ..... lol



So I might be ordering two more plugs (9's) and running those all the way around....

it depends on how you use it, if you are drag racing you dont need colder plugs, but if you are roadracing then you will need a colder plug, generally

You can go with non platinum plugs and save a few bucks if you want
