Ok, so i have done tons of searches and haven't found a recent definitive answer.

With the new plugs that are on the market, Is there a preferred one to use for an 87 S4 Auto Daily driver? Gap?

Thnx

John

Porsche chose them for a reason and at $2.25 each why would you experiment with something else.

I have a list I will email you when the GP is over.

No plan on experimenting!
Just wondering if all still agree with the recommendations 25 years later. Thats why i prefaced my question with..
" With the new plugs that are on the market..."

Thnx a million..

I've heard good things about Beru and our ignition wires are Beru.

Bosch Plugs.
There was a thread a while ago about this. Bosch is the way to go.
