I've had the Bosch Plat 4 prongers in Vinnie (and the Cabriolet) for over a
year now and now problems to report at all. Just all good.  I've had them
out once to during this year to dress them up with a brass wire brush. Did
that with my other plugs too.
They are supposedly good for some insane number of miles (like 50 or 100 k
miles?) Plus they have a like it or your money back guarantee to boot. I
figured I can't lose.
