ECS is a pretty good place to buy from, I've gotten quite a bit of stuff from them and I've been happy with them so far.

I think most people on here are rocking NGK plugs. I'm running the BKR7E, but I think the Irdiums are better for the V6ers

I had the intention of getting NGK the first time I changed mine, but ended up with Denso Iridiums. I've been very happy with them.

I use em and I think they're pretty good... I mean honestly, A spark plug is a spark plug... Iridium, copper, platinum, They all do the same job and won;t really increase your HP. Some will just last longer than others. Get what you want just don;t go cheap because then you may start to see a difference in fuel economy. I heard of a plug with a round contact which made a HUGE spark and apparently it REALLY boosts your MPG. Sadly though it's not available for Audis

Are your coilpacks currently giving you a problem or are you buying spares? If they aren't misfiring then there is no reason to replace them as far as I understand.

I'm running the Denso Iridiums. I got them for the long plug life. I didn't expect any performance gains.

yeah they are misfiring, but only when the car is cold.... but none the less they should be done, i am going to do all six just to get them out of the way... not going for performance at all..
