Spark plugs

Hello people, what would be the best set of spark plugs to install on a 2008 yaris, besides the OEM?

I went with denso iridium spark plugs. It idles much better with the A/C on. It dosen't feel like it is going to stall anymore. I got them at Discount Auto Parts for 7.99 if I remember right. NGK also makes a similar quality plug. I would not buy anything that is not iridum though. Replacing the spark plugs on the Yaris is so much easier than on my Dodge Ram. You will need a 6" extension to reach the plugs.

Either Denso or NGK iridium plugs are fine
Actually, Toyota uses NGK on ocasion

In fact, my Celica came with NGK iridium plugs.

ooooh oooh.....E3 plugs are good....for a lawn mower...(does a yaris count as a mower?)

or you can always put PULSAR on the yaris. they're 25 a pair though...and 30 for the iridium

NGK only...that or denso, or Delco, which is usually made by either denso or ngk...depending on style and make.

i wouldnt put champion in my lawnmower, and i wouldnt use autolite in my enemies' lawnmower.
