I always use NGK and very happy with it.

BKR7EIX is the one I use. Gap them to .028 inches. I think they come .030 inches from the factory

If you are gapping iridium you just have to be extra careful. It is so easy to snap the electrode.

Copper pugs suck balls. After few weeks they start to misfire like crazy.

I like to change them frequently, like every oil change. Im weird about that. I have a set of bkr7e-ix. Ill give them a try soon/

yes, you are correct

from NGK:"Adjusting the gap on fine wire plugs can be done. The reason there aremany cautions not to adjust the gap is because if you were to use a coinstyle gap tool or some other device that would pry or put pressureagainst the center firing electrode, it is easy to snap off the centerelectrode and damage the spark plug. I suggest if you are to attempt toadjust these plugs, use a wire style gap tool or one that has a groundelectrode attachment. This will grab onto the ground electrode allowingyou to change the gap without coming into contact with the center firingelectrode. "
