I recommend you stick back to the standard NGK spark plugs & save your money.
Sorry to splash cold water on you,SinS

Last time I tried Bosch Super 4 on my old Sunny even, thinking it will bring extra power, actually it doesn't and FC still remains the same. But my Sunny was "happier" on NGK Platinums.
This is because if you Google for Bosch Super 4, mostly says "no difference".

If you still insist wanting better plugs then you can try NGK G-Power Platinums. I tried it and it was fine with me though

If you want better power actually , change your spark plug cable to new ones, even change to ori spark plug cable can also. 2002=10 years old car, you should consider changing cables although it's not spoilt yet.
I changed my old spark plug cables to new ones, and it brings back the 1.3 powah (and smile).
And don't forget to reset the ECU for it to relearn the ignition timing curve.

I've change the plug cable to Bosch Super Sport cable...My mech change it before asking me... sweat.gif
The reason i wanted to try Bosch Super 4 is because i want a plug that last longer than normal plug...
As my engine is all stock, does using platinum/iridium plug will give any noticeable improvement or its just negligible?

Does iridium plug really improve the performance of my engine as my engine is all stock?

And in term of performance, copper is always the winner.. but its not last long.. 20-30k km max.. while iridium and platinum can last longer like 90k-100k km but its has lower conductivity compare copper..

So you want better performance choose copper..
Want better reliability choose iridium or platinum..
