Question DMGRS Denso plugs?

Just wondering if the DENSO spark plugs sold by DMGRS are iridium plugs?

Anybody know?

At £12 for four I’d say no chance, usually at least that price each for iridiums. The question however is why you feel the need to use iridium plugs? They weren’t fitted from factory and you aren’t going to see much benefit unless your going racing.

I was just curious I guess and wondered if anybody had maybe bought them and knew for sure.

Although having said that, my friend has booked a few track days in his Honda DC2 and I had considered giving it a go.

My Uncle used to race a highly modified frog eyed sprite around Silverstone back in the day. Have often wondered if it would be fun.

I haven’t got anything special in my rover 25 1.8t and can’t say I’ve had problems on track days. Zt’s have good stiff chassis, they’re just a little on the heavy side. A zs 180 is what you want! Best of both worlds

I do have a Diesel ZS mk2 saloon with the 180 bodykit . I've often thought about taking that on a track day.

Handles well despite the oil burner up front. Could do with a turbo upgrade though.

I have them on my v6 . There is nothing on the box about being iridium , and if they were I'm sure it would say so . They do advertise the fact that they are V-groove
Car runs very well indeed with them . I am happy
