Hi! I have installed a set of new Bosch platinum plugs (single electrode) in my car. The center electrode is very thin, almost like a pin and it doesn't stick out over the ceramic insulator. I can't say a bad word about them. After the instalation the car runs very smooth, never misses and the response to the gas has improved. Additionally I think that the car has more power and better accelleration. I've never tried the +4 so I can't say about them but the ones with single platinum electrode are just great. Give 'em a try Rob. I think you'll like them. Take care everyone!
