My VS brake upgrade thread - http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/vs-brake-upgrades/April 19, 2015 at 6:58 pm #5071I am doing 60 000k’s service soon and I reckon I’ll ditch them
The handbook says to change them every 120 000 k’s but my car is almost five years old and idles in heavy traffic heaps
They are 11 bucks each from holden but am also looking into NGK iridium.
I am pretty sure ac delco are iridium too
April 19, 2015 at 10:10 pm #5085U don’t need that iridium bullshit. $3 ngk’s do exactly the same job.
April 20, 2015 at 12:40 am #5091Just bought a set of ngk iridiums. Less that 100 bucks and dont need to worry about them for another 5 years. Cant be stuffed doing it too often with copper ones. The plugs are not so easily accessible on these as they used to be on old v6’s.
btw. The iridium ones are the only option in ngk catalogue for my car. No copper plugs

April 22, 2015 at 8:10 am #5258Wouldn’t have bothered, 60k is nothing your just wasting a 100 bucks.
