Default Iridium Ngk's ?

I got a free set of ngk iridium plugs, should i use these or should i trade them in for a set of v-powers? Why do alot of people shy away from the iridium plugs even though they are what come stock.

yea the main reason why people dont use the NGK iriduims is b/c of the cost, usually around 7-10 bux a plug, if you got them use um
