i've just put those NGK's in mine today, have not driven it yet but will let you know. Apparently they run at a slightly lower temp. I got them from GSF but you're right that everyone says to use them!

Karan,

I always used NGK's when I had it. It just seemed to run better on them. Can't remember what type they were though.
