I had an NGK fail on me (car running on 5 cyls) put in my used Bosch (with 10K or so miles on them) and have had them in for 20K miles more since then. I could not tell the difference. Other cars/drivers might. Some have had mixed experience with the Bosch. I don't think anyone has gone wrong with oem (except I had one fail in short mileage which is annoying at $11 a pop). Plus the one replacement I bought has a part number that is not the same as the other 5 I had for my 93. It's a superceded part number, but I can't tell if they are the same, and I definitely don't want to mix spark plugs. That's why the Bosch have remained in.
