Thisis what Rob Grady had to say on this subject some time ago

Hello everyone, 

I wish to clarify David's remarks. When Bosch Platinum's came out in the
mid-eighty's (I think? I must be getting old!) they were touted as the next
great thing so naturally I tried them as a lower cost alternative to the
tried and true "SILBERS" (check the spelling on the box!). What I found
unfortunately was that almost a third of our subsequent tune-ups would
return within a few hundred miles with an engine miss. We stopped using
these plugs within a few months. If you want a cheaper plug than silvers the
Bosch coppers fill the bill nicely. I haven't tried the Plus Fours yet but
have a set waiting to throw in my green car. I'm just not that comfortable
trying them based on my past experience. BTW I also don't recommend Bosch
ignition wire sets as my "Daily driver" owners never seemed to get more than
a year out of them. Stick with Bougicord wires, Bosch "Silber" or "Super"
coppers, along with a Bosch cap and rotor and you'll have a combination that
has ALMOST NEVER let us down over many hundreds of DeLorean tune-ups (Never
say never:).

Sincerely,

Robert Grady

I agree with him and we fit only coppers because they're inexpensive, 
and they work. I had a bad experience with +4's
