    Main dealer only imo. Less likely to get a duff batch.

    Alternativelly you could buy NGK BKR-7EIX. Which is a cheap alternative.

        I'm very unhappy with those. Brand new plugs and the car misfired on dyno runs. Now I'm with champion QC59C - very happy

        For such high price they're very poor made....

              I have used these plug for years in a few setups and never had a issue.
              Last time i bought the F5 DPOR plugs think it was ebay.

                    Don't buy these plugs anymore. They moved their manufacturing into a chinese ghetto or something...
                    The porcelain bits break and fall into the cylinder, causing damage, brand new plugs misfire sometimes for no reason at all, etc.

                    I use FR5DP's from Volvos and I never had a problem with those.

                      Yes, FR5DP is actually one of the best choice to use with 1.8T coils. So If you have done a coilswap these will work great, and cost the half of the F5DP0R.

                          The problem happened fairly recently. Like they started getting worse 1 year ago or so.
                          It's like buying a lottery ticket nowadays. If you are lucky, all will be fine, if you are unlucky, you'll get engine damage because of broken porcelain.

                              So are the FR5DP's also suitable for the stock coils, or do you need the 1.8T coils?

                              Put new POR's 1year and a few months ago, so don't want te be running any risk.
