Default Spark plug confusion!!

Hi all, and sorry in advance if this has been asked a million times already. I'm a complete novice at the whole subaru world so I need some advice. I have a 02 bugeye wrx and I want to change the plugs on it. I've been told a few different makes of plug but I'd like to know what you guys in the know think. Nothing better than advice from people with actual experience rather than listening to a mechanic who is trying to flog his own stuff!!

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

P.s she is completely standard for now

Cheers

If your car is un-modified\standard boost then 6b's will do fine.

As stated by Shmerman NGK PFR6B's are fine, PFR7B's are more for tuned engines around 300bhp~ and above for a WRX, 7B's are a colder plug allowing for higher combustion chamber temperatures. Best checking your car's manual as it will what it should be.
PFR6B's should be pre gapped to 0.8mm.
