The EP-11 is an OEM Platinum type.

The EIX-11 is an Iridium IX plug.
From NGK:
"Featuring a 0.6 mm iridium center electrode tip, they offer superior ignitability without sacrificing durability. The tapered ground electrode increases flame kernel expansion, while the superior heat range design is ideally suited to the demands of high performance environments".

I was finally able to find a set.

The NGK IX iridiums do not last as long as factory OEM iridiums........your car originally came with platinums......replace them with NGK laser plats & they will last longer than the IX (there is no OEM iridiums for your year available).
