    ...too much shit to list.
    Yes they come with dual ground electrode with copper cores due to the ignition system design (wasted spark). The ONLY reason for the dual ground is because with the ignition design, a traditional copper core will erode the grounds too fast and ultimately require more frequent spark plug changes. Remember electricity always takes the path of least resistance. Whichever ground is closer to the core will always fire first. And when that gets eroded, it will start firing on the other ground, back and forth, back and forth.

    With technology, comes change. Modern iridium plugs (and to some extent platinum) that have platinum/iridium tips on the ground don't deteriorate like old copper ones. So there's no need for a dual ground, but those come at a price.

    If you're just doing a strait tuneup and don't have money to blow on irridium plugs, stick with
    $18 Denso K16TR11 Spark Plugs, Pack of 4
    Denso K16TR11 or NGK BKR5EKB–11.

    It's strange because I definitely don't feel this at all, but only feel the clunk offroad.
