uh, NGK. they make good plugs. you can go with ngk or denso iridium plugs, but they're VERY expensive, like $11/plug. if you get normal ngk's, they're like approx $2/plug.

Turbulence,

I am interested in the NGK Iridiums as well. Do you happen to have a part # for the 2.0 L Elantra/Tiburon engines? I looked on NGKs site and can't find one..... :-(

They are Denso Iridiums, not by NGK. I've been told they are not worth the money and you're better off replacing the cheaper NGK's every 10k instead. They are definately not for nitrous.
NGK's are "V-Power" #BKR5E-11

NGK does make the iridiums as well. I like them in my tibby. I got mine from Summit Racing. They were about $6 a plug. SummitRacing.com in case you wondered. I'd call about them cuz I can't find them online. However, I do assure you that I did buy the NGK iridiums from Summit.

The turbo dodge crowd swears by plain stock Champion RN12YC. The platinum plugs tend to come apart in our motors...

This is a nice bonus, considering the price on Champions...

I'd rather put Champion plugs in my lawn mower. Stock '97 Tiburons used to come with Champion plugs standard, but they kept going bad, so Hyundai switched to NGK. I can't recall how many sets of Champs I went through when I first got my car back in early '98.
