HKS Plugs are ****

I suffered a 'breakdown' on one in my car.

The ceramic insulator has a habit of shattering, and causing internal engine damage.

Stick to NGK's

A £20 outlay could turn into an expensive mistake if an insulator breaks up and damages a piston, bore, valve or valve seat.

I personally wouldn't fit a Denso/HKS plug to anything, but it's your choice

I bought some of these plugs, and they only lasted less than 6 months before they broke down and started miss firing, won't be using them again

i had these in my car for 2 years(told they were changed when the engine was rebuilt). I would still go with ngk pfr7b though.

being in the trade i would nt venture to call any product **** publicly , but i personally would nt recommend these denso or HKS plugs , i always recommned NGK s gold pallidium plugs and personally wont entertain the idea of using any other plugs on my cars , The amount of customersa i ve had come to me asking for HKS because of the hype is alsmost as many as those that have come to me asking us to recommend a good plug after they ve had problems with HKS / Denso plugs !
