I actually had to have my wife install these plugs due to a serious car accident I was in in Feb. of 2012. She did a wonderful job. The plugs themselves are very well designed and do improve performance (10-15%) if you install and replace the wires (correctly) and at the same time. BE SURE TO LUBE THE PLUG WIRES ! I do not recommend anti-seize with these. But overall I'm very impressed.

Comments about Bosch Platinum+4 Spark Plug:
Have F-150 4.6L, changed OE plugs at 140,000 miles installed Bosch Platinum plugs. After 40,000 miles pulled the Bosch plugs to check on them. The carbon pattern builds un-uniformly creating a bridge to the electrode -- unlike the OE Platinum that builds uniformly. Going back to OE plugs.

These plugs are junk, vehicle with a standard ignition is not ebough to have these plugs perform as you are told. I bought a set of regular platinums and everything came back, as in mpg, power, throttle response.
