If NGK's are good for turbo'd Hondas, Dodge, and others, then it should be fine for a stock Pro.. specially since it came with NGKs.

The most common problems with people and plugs are:
1.) They don't know what the codes mean.. and buy the wrong plugs.
2.) Wrong gapping.
NGKs have never given me any problems with any cars I've owned or have dealt with. I've turbo charged 3 cars and they all use NGKs with no problems. I've had NA cars and now a Talon TSi turbo and they've all used NGK.. no problems.
