Do a search on them. I think the consensus is that they are junk.

unless you wanna replace your spark plugs in 2,000 miles dont get them...however if you wanna throw your money away go ahead and get them. Get motorcraft plugs other wise you'll be back doing plugs again.

Here's my advice: Motorcraft plugs. They'll last a heck of a lot longer than those bosch plugs.
I used the bosch platnums, and about after 5,000 miles, the spittin and sputterin started. changed back to motorcraft plugs, and runs great.

Read through my thread about the engine I bought that had the bosch plugs in it: (don't read everything or you'll be ready to jump off a bridge)
