NGK - PFR6B for standard engines

NGK - PFR7B for modified ones

I believe Damo from Street Performance or Dave from STi Tuning will sort you out
See our traders section

if your car has being re-mapped or modified engine wise....you need a higher rated spark plug...

ok cheers

Those plugs listed are platinum plugs.

If you want performance plugs, use the NGK Iridiums. We do these and stock them for the Subaru.

Don't recommend iridiums at all for your model car..

pfr7b is the best plug to use...

I agree PFR7B are the plugs to use.

Sorry guys, PFR7Bs are platinum plugs.

Good for standard cars, longer life etc but are still classed as an OE replacement type plug.

Iridium plugs are able to provide a stronger spark constantly and at a higher temperature, avoid misfires, better for emissions and a more complete burn in the cylinder. The electrodes last longer, have a higher melting point and at their new price are almost the same price as the platinum plugs.

That is why all the newer Subaru engines and most other performance car engines come with them standard. 2005 onwards Subarus use the ILFR NGK plugs which are Iridium tipped.

The only reason platinum was used for such a long time was because production of Iridium plugs was too expensive for OE use. With costs of Iridium plug production dropping, many manufacturers including Subaru are now starting to use them on later model cars as standard equipment.

Cheeky sales pitch and scaremongoring...


if that was case i'd advise all my customers to usr NGK BKR7EIX plugs.

They cost same price!!

WHY DON'T I ???


Cause they have not out-preformed and out-proofed themselves of their counterparts.

Happy St Patricks day (everyone has their own opinion).

its not opinon...


its proven reliability...

you have to take into consideration wat ratio of each is used and then look at failures.



failures across irl and uk are found with iridiums..

they are also prone to mis-fire cause and don't last as long as platinums..

Just remember writing that now :lol: Was out last night. Just dont want to see the thread to go on like others have and getting no where
