As you have noted 'bog standard', then it's probably not worth bothering. Spark plugs only need change rating really if you're going to map to take account of the cooler plugs, or if you have mods that might need them.
There's a reason that Subaru put the ones in that they do

I can sell you some colder plugs for 300 quid.....garuanteed to soot up and cause misfires within 2k km's running standard boost, lol!

Spend your money on a decent downpipe instead.
