Default spark plugs?

another AW member said he had a weird incident with some vibrations from the car. his mechanic said it was because of a spark plug.

i have a 2000 a6 2.7t, with about 77,000 miles. and im thinking about changing my spark plugs, becuase i too had a vibration problem, although mine went away later that evening.

any suggestions on when to change spark plugs?

NGK plugs are great, but I'm not sure if they're the best for the 2.7L biturbo.
