I thought they were pre-gapped too. My mechanic just fitted my 7's straight from the box. The car runs fine.

no the pre-gapped std plugs should be fine but certain modified or high boost cars require the smaller gap of 0.65mm

thanks again for your advise , just to clarify , almost standard version 6 sti , use pfr7b spark plug with a gap of 0.8 straight out the box .
modified cars may need a smaller gap
