Well, my experience with plugs is STEER CLEAR OF PLATS!!! Basically I bought a used 1996 900 Turbo last year... earlier this year I started having problems with stalling and failure to idle. When I took it to Saab it appears the previous owner had put platinum plugs in and over time it had fed back into the ignition system and blown the whole unit. $350 part! Saab say "resistor plugs only" on the top of the block... and they mean it. Just my 2c worth. BTW, there was no noticeable difference in performance after I put in the Bosch resistor plugs... and no change in gas-mileage. I have a lead foot too, so c'est la vie :)) Gavin
