So I am going to be changing my plugs in the next couple of days and I was going to buy stock motorcraft plugs from the dealership but they are $10.25 a piece. I was curious of anyone knows how NHG G power plugs work on a zetec? They are on sale for 8 bucks a piece at crappy tire. Unless someone knows of a part store that also carries motorcraft and might be a lot cheaper.

Yeah thats why I was curious if they are any good. A pack of two NGK G powers are on sale for $7.99, while 1 motorcraft is $10.25.
I was just wondering if anyone has run them and if they work well in the zetec. I know my 5.0 runs great on certain plugs and like crap on others, so im sure the Focus has certain ones that run like crap as well.

I've been told to stick to the stock plugs if the engine is stock.

I've found that if you keep going back to the same dealer, they'll give you a deal.
