Its time for me to change the plugs so figured I'd see what you all are runnin in your cars...

I run NGK V-power plugs in my Dodge srt-4 but not sure if they are a recommended type for the Focus. (2006 ZX5 SES)


Anyone have any recommendations?

Stick with stock plugs. They work the best. Maybe get the one step colder plugs. I'll see if I can find the part number.

Autolight makes the closest thing to a stock plug. I use them and havnt had any complaints about them in either focus ive had em in.
But meaford is right, If you just wanna change em go stock.
