What are the best spark plugs to use in a 2.5 v6. Genuine vauxhall twin electrode or the bosch super 4. Thanks.

I`d stick with genuine, no real advantage with the 4 electrode except a bit longer life. Part no`s are; 90509739 up to eng. no. 08018688 and
9195109 from eng. no. 08018689 :y

How much are the genuine twin electrode roughly. Bosch super 4 in halfords today £30.00 for 4 so would be £60.00 for 6 with 2 spare dont realy want to spend that much. Thanks
