Default NGK BPR6ES vs Bosch Super Copper Spark Plugs

I first started using Bosch Super Copper Spark Plugs when I got my car 4 years ago, since LR promoted them on their website and they were OEM for our cars. As I read here the negative feedback on the Bosch Plugs, I saw that they were on the silvers and not the coppers. So, I started using the NGK plug because of the overwhelming feedback here. It's been my experience that the NGK performs satisfactory for a few months and then it starts misfiring. I used the standard 6 for street use and not the 7 that everyone here uses. I recently put the Bosch back in, and not only are they better built, they have the U-groove like the Nipo Densos and the have a nicer rounder shaped side electrode, they come pre-gapped at 0.28", and they feel much better than the NGKs and I am going to keep them...

What P/N you using? I found a Bosch W7DC or a W6DC (cooler) at one site.

Are you talking about the super plus? THat P/N is 7900. The W7DC is the super plug.

" BOSCH Super Spark Plugs - W7DC Pack of 1"

Well thanks to this Topic I just went out and bought the BPR6ES. I was runing the Iridium and I think that this car doesn't like them.

By my current calculations.......


Take the 4 and divide by the common denominator, carry the 6... =

Forever and a day!... It will certainly be ready then..

Leaving in 30 minutes though, for TWS.. Going to ride with Gene and Viking on this open track day.. I should leave now!.. lol

That's too bad, you would've seen a big improvement with the Bosch Supers...

What part number is the one that you are using. I can't find the 7100 that you are talking about. They do have the 7900(super Plus).

I'm exchanging the BPR6ES after work for the Bosch 7900.
