I’m wanting to replace the spark plugs in my wife’s 2018 Kia Stinger Platinum. I’ve been reading lots about the HKS plugs but would they be ok on a stock stinger? I’ve also never had any issues with NGK plugs either. Any recommendations please?!
 
What's a "Platinum"? I think you mean "Premium". I have one of those, a '19 - see avatar. Just go with plugs that have the same gap as stock. It doesn't make sense to pay more for a brand name unless you are demanding more performance with a tune of some kind.
 
NGK Ruthenium, Upgraded plug from factory plugs and they are cheaper. The stock ones are on dealer lock down. More money for lower quality plugs. NGK Ruthenium HX Spark Plugs LFER7BHX are a direct fit upgrade for the NGK 97976 SILZFR7A9G Laser Iridium Spark Plugs

Contrary to what I've seen some others post, we ran the HKS M45iL Spark Plugs on our 2019 Stinger when it was still stock and had great results.

It's no longer stock, but at the time, the plugs performed flawlessly.

We've also sold a ton of these to customers running completely stock Stingers, and they've consistently reported zero issues. Just stronger spark and better performance.

You can find them on our website with free same day shipping below:
