To an extent profit, but the platinum tipped plugs in a subaru, are expensive. Expect around £40 a set.

No, the platinum ones are like £8 each.
I have tried ordinary BCPR6ES and BCPR7ES NGK's in mine just to see, and they worked fine. They would just need changing more often. I normally ( and am ) using PFR6B's
