Long story short I couldnt order just three... 4 plugs a pack.. I ordered 12 3 pack.. so now I have 3 sets for your smart...

I calculated I paid $14.00 each, so If you want a set, its $14.00 each

So, are theses absolutely, positively, guaranteed to be the Iridium alternative to the stock plugs? As in, cross referenced by Denso to the stock plugs. Thanks.

yup, heat range similar, thread pitch, height etc... I installed it on my car yesterday and drove it around all night, no real positive or negative data since its too early... based on my other cars, I have nothing but good things to say about the irridiums...

I dont know if these are in their Denso(USA) system yet but if you look deeper youll find them... Smart is not the only car that run these Mitsu engines (im sure you know that already)

Understand the "similar" part but I don't see these cross referenced to the stock smart plugs on any site, including Denso's.

Unless there is something more I dont know of, based on my experience, you need the thread pitch, reach, height and heat range... what else can a plug do... its not a moving part... educate me

I guess I need educating also; if these are direct replacements why doesn't Denso or anyone else show them as such. Not questioning the tech specs, just wondering why Denso isn't listing them for smart (or maybe they will soon?)

Probably because of this, it will be out on their site soon... because you questioned, I questioned Denso.. and the engineers are looking into it now as i am typing this.. good to have friends inside sometimes.. they also wondered how I got these plugs... they are JDM LOL.. so I will confirm when they call me back

2 sets left..

All Sold.... If you guys want I can call my friend over at the land of the rising sun and get some more... keep in mind they wont separate them so it has to come in 4.. so I can get 12, 24, and so on... it takes 7 days to get here from the time he actually mails it via air mail.... we are not making any money on this.. I wont do this again till I need more.. I refuse to burn my favors all on plugs... so you guys tell me if you need a set...

Keep in mind Im not a vendor, dont want to get banned again for trying to sell bulk of stuff..

OK I guess I get enough PM that I will order more... more like 12 sets.. people who already PM will get dibs..

if this is OK with Jwight
