Skip the platinums is the word I've heard.  I've used them before, they
were ok.  Shawn's had some really bad luck with them in his 8v's.  Order
the triples from Mark or Mike, be at your door in a few days.  Worth
the wait for an important part of your ignition system in my opinion. I
really like using the triple E Bosch or the triple E NGKs.  Seems like
a better design for a center fire plug arrangement like the 16v has.
