Denso Iridium IK-16s. I liked them better than the NGK Iridiums. Performance wise I didn't noticed a difference, but when you hold it the quality looked better (well, in my eyes).

You're gonna have some problems with the SAFC. The factory ecu will learn your tune over time and you'll have to reset the ecu once every couple weeks (if you daily the car). I gave up on tuning mine. I just use it as a gauge to monitor rpm, throttle %, airflow thru the maf and voltage.

I did get it to work when I set the fuel map to be active when throttle is +75%. But that was rather pointless, since i rarely got to use that tune on the street. To self tune, you're gonna need a wideband. Either the newest AEM or a PLX to start. And to do tuning safely, you're gonna need dyno time
