i personally have had better results from the plain ngk copper plugs myself far less breakdown under load .might not last as long but def work better for me .iridum plugs were explained to me as not a performance plug but a plug that will last a long time and used in cars where plug changes are hard to do ie rear cyl of a fwd v6 camry ect ect .i know on our methanol fueld speedway car we never used anything fancy /i think sometimes people get sucked in by the hype of the manufactures advertising .more expenxe is not always the way to go in my view cheers all

Damn, just when I thought there couldn't be anymore spark plug threads...

Anyway from what I recall from SydneyKid's post (very knowledgable) from another post which I can't be bothered to find... Iridium does not conduct better. Copper is the better conductor of electrical current. Apparently the only reason why Iridium plugs were developed was to save servicing costs and labor since they last for so long which would be useful in a car where the plugs are at a hard position to get to.

Since with the RBs the plugs are a simple job, I'd recommend getting the copper plugs and change them as you have to. Go iridiums if money means nothing to you or if you're lazy or both...

pretty sure SK put in that in the long term the coppers are cheaper anyway..
