For whatever reason, people on this site love to bash Bosch plugs. I don't have the same plugs as the OP purchased, but I've used the Bosch Platinum +4s in 3 of my cars and my 1 truck. They've worked just fine....

when I first got my car I put new bosch platinums in it, figured they would be good, ran them in other gm stuff and they did great. I put ngk tr55's in and the car ran much much smoother, so bosch plgs will not go back into my car. If everyone bashes something, there's normally a good reason for it, yes they are a great plug, just our cars don't seem to like them.

variable gap plugs!! awesome, E3 aint got **** on that, lol.

It's not that they don't work (although they do have a fairly hit and miss track record), it's that the cheaper plugs work just as well, if not BETTER, at HALF the price.
