Spark Plug Preference
 
I've determined that my car despises the Bosch spark plugs I bought it, so I'm looking for advice on what plugs to put in.

I had NGK Platinum plugs before, and it ran alright, but I read that the NGK Copper plugs were actually better for the car.

So what plugs will work best with my car?

Car is a 94 Protege LX

You really can't beat NGK copper plugs! I think many Forum members will agree with that.

Autozone was out of the NGK Coppers, so I got the Denso Coppers, since the owners manual recommended both. Mileage has immediately gone back up to what it was before :)
