hey the criticism is fair. But by top-of-the-line I meant it was the highest level of NGK spark plugs. They have the finest center electrode point as a result of using platinum (other metals won't stay strong enough when milled that fine), they are quench free. It could be argued that irdidium provides an equal and possibly better metal for the center electrode, but at any rate these plugs are very good. Heres a link to the Kragen

As far as "good deal", they retail for $17.99 a piece, and I'll offer them to any HAN members for $17.99 for a set of 4.

Hope that settles your complaints....
