Default Spark Plugs...?

I'm considering replacing the spark plugs on my car and i'm looking for something different than Bosch 4+. I have 4+ right now, they are OK, but aren't there better plugs for my engine?
I've heard many times that NGK make good spark plugs for our cars. Anyone has any experience with them? Since they have 6-7 models NGK spark plugs (platinum, 3-electrodes, split electr. and etc.) which one do you think should i pick for my car?
We are talking about the 2.3L 10V engine.
Thaks for any suggestions.

either the NGK 3 electrodes or bosch tri-electrodes, i would stick with the copper plug i've had much better experience with these.

platinums can make audi's run funky.
people will disagree with me but from all of the work i've had in the european repair field i've had more people come and complain after they've installed platinums and they don't understand why.


HTH!

Everything I've read about plat plugs tends to suggest they show absolutely no benefits whatsoever. I had bosch plat +4 in my neon, the only thing they did was to put a dent in my wallet.

Default NGK tri-electrode are the only ones I use on both my Audi's.

NGKs are the only kind I use. On a turbo 2.2 10V the platnum Bosch makes it run like crap.

My 2.8 12V has the NGKs and work great. Try a set and look arround for about $4 each.
