Just curious what aftermarket plugs everyone prefers to use. Surprisingly, I can't seem to find 2019 Kia Stinger plugs on any site when I search for my specific car model which is odd.....
Yep...Denso 5346 in my case, I think there's other models that work. The HKS plugs have a following, but they're considerably more expensive.

Denso IKH24 as all have already said.... gapped to 0.022"
Curious what deal you found as I'm wondering if it was cheaper then from the vendors here on the forums.Thanks. That's what I ordered. Found a good deal on Amazon.
$9.81/plug shippedCurious what deal you found as I'm wondering if it was cheaper then from the vendors here on the forums.
FYI-I got mine from Rockauto.com for only $7.92/plug or $55 shipped.Curious what deal you found as I'm wondering if it was cheaper then from the vendors here on the forums.
I tried Rock Auto, but for some reason could only buy in sets of 4 (4 or 8), not 6 which was odd....FYI-I got mine from Rockauto.com for only $7.92/plug or $55 shipped.
Wow that’s weird and they must have changed the quantities for the orders, but only $64($8x8) to have a couple extra backups is still a great deal.I tried Rock Auto, but for some reason could only buy in sets of 4 (4 or 8), not 6 which was odd....
Gapping the new plugs was a little of a problem. Had to make a trip to the store to get a different type of gap tool to reduce the gap on the new plugs. I was successful in getting them all between 0.0022 and 0.0024
I used one of those round ones with the loops and the doohickey to bend the end of the plug because I didn't have any needle nose pliar small enoughDon't know what you used but I got this and it was easy to gap the plugs...

Yea one of those. I did use a feeler gauge for the gapYeah the screw down gapped is the best and accurate.
One of these?

If so they don’t work very well and may damage the plugs. Did you use blade style feeler gauge for the gap size at least?
Just curious why feeler-type is preferred for checking the gap? Is it an accuracy thing? I would imagine as long as you are 0.023 +- 0.001, it should be fine?
