0-60 Pulls. Pretty Impressed!

That's nice to hear they come pre-gapped from BMS. Maybe I'll get my next set from them and save myself 10 minutes.

I just got mine from BMS. They were NOT pre-gapped. I didn't measure the gap before changing but I think they were around .03-.032. I had to close the gap a decent amount to get them to .022

Mine were all .026. Did you regap them yourself?

After unboxing them, i used .022 first and was not even close. Since the gap came much wider than .022, I guessed at the .028 'ish. No matter, since they were not .022 out of the box, used my tool and gauges to get them there.

did this before I even opened the hood of my car. Not difficult to do yourself just be CAREFUL of the Iridium tip. don't want to damage that. Don't know about the Denso's as i did not try to find any for the 2.0 but the HKS are "money"....The stock NGK's are actually not bad but heat range is 8 which is fine for map1 but going past that, I would not even try without changing plugs.

I see all the folks that have "no issues" with re-gapping stock plugs but even though the HKS are expensive, I have no problems paying the cost of admission ($120) for "peace of mind".

When I pulled the stock out I noticed they are NGK. I run NGK in EVERYTHING except this. Is there a reason we run crappy densos and not a colder ngk plug?

Only guessing but like most manufacturers, a lot of parts come 'dual sourced" in the event there is a problem with a supplier, they can still keep the lines running with the other sourced part. Plugs no different. I actually found the step colder NGK's online and ordered them but after a month, the site still couldn't give me a deliver date so I canceled the order and went to the HKS.

Really wanted the NGK's because the stock plugs are pretty good. the HKS are more than adequate for the job. Little "spotty" during cold starts but that is due to being a step colder.
