NGK out of all of them. They are the best for Hyundais. Hyundais will eat the Boschs in under 20,000 miles, according to the Hyundai dealer.

Make sure you set your gap right. If you over gap the sparkplugs, you can increase the voltage requirements and lead to the death of spark plug wires.

Hyundais will eat Bosch plugs? Hmmm ... I have had this set of +4's in for about 20K miles. I changes out the last set with about 30K on them and they still looked good. I have found that the +4's give a smoother idle and improved mid-range performance. These are worlds better than the Champions that were in the car. I pulled the NGKs out of my sister's Tiburon and replaced them with +4s as well. Seems to give the same level of performance. You are going to get oppinions from both sides. Try em out and see what you thing.

Bosch +4 part number 4418

The dealer's right man, the Bosch plugs dont seem to like being in a Hyundai engine very much...but we have had customers who miss their service intervals and still have the plugs come up roses...NGK BPR6ES/11...these never seem to wanna die man!
