need opinions on spark plugs

[AVE0SAM]

alright ive got 52,000 miles on my aveo so i think shes overdue for changing the spark plugs....need opinions on whats the best bang for your buck....im not look for a power adder but gettng more efficiency since I am going away to college but driving home every weekend to work....i was thinking between iridium or e3. has anyone tried both and which one was better performance and price wise. also do you recommend changing the wires too? thanks

From personal experience, I suggest NOT putting in Bosch Platinum Plus. They are not recommended, but according to some parts stores, they are listed as compatable. I did a tune up at 30,000 miles, and the wires ended up needing replacement as well (one of them broke while being removed). I put Bosch in...and began having problems. I'm still not positive whether or not the new wires and plugs were the cause, but can definitely tell a difference between the Bosch and the factory wires and plugs. By the way, the factory plugs are NGKs (Iridium, I believe). To prevent problems, I suggest sticking with these... they cost me $16 each at the dealer, but it's better than the time and money spent when problems begin to occur from putting in the wrong plugs.

Iridium is the best out there right now. Best bang for the buck is a direct oem replacement at parts store. Why would GM skimp on plugs anyway? I'm pretty sure the engineers know what they are doing.

IMO E3 ftl. was not impressed. its all your own choice.

irridiums if you don't want to have to worry about your plugs for the rest of the life of the motor
