Default Platinum Plugs really work?
My car has 32k miles and I want to change the plugs. I have looked online at Bosch and they recommend only the FGR7KQE0 oe plug. I checked the audipages and they recommend the Platinum +4 4457. Can anyone else provide feedback on their plug experiences.

Thanks,
Manny

Got them in all my cars. With the price of gas plugs are cheap!

Default Had my Denso's in for a week and also pleased. Idle seems a lot nicer.....
Also had my timing belt done at the same time, so who knows where to credit.
