    ECS spark plugs

    Hey guys
    Has anyone bought spark plugs from ECS before?

    Are they suitable for aus spec cars etc?
    I've got a V6 bora. Just wanna make sure they'll be okay before I add them to my group buy list

    Thanks for the help!
    Mitch


    -EDIT: Can I also ask...

    Does anyone know what size standard 4mo brake rotors are? front and rear? ECS says Front 288mm/Rear 232mm? but I've read that they are really front 312mm/rear 256mm?

    As long as they are the correct part number you've nothing to worry about.

    Looking at NGK plugs

    went onto their website to get a part number. Matched it up to ECS
    But they have a '6' at the end. I'm correct in assuming that means 6 plugs?

    ECS part number: PZFR5D-11-6
    NGK part number: PZFR5D-11

    Check that on NGKs site. Often it means they are gapped for a particular application AFAIK.

    The 11 stands for 1.1 gap
    Checked the product code on ecs without the 6 and the same plugs, but a 4 pack came up with the same product number and '4' on the end

    So it's all sorted. Confident they are the right ones!
    Thanks

    The reason it says different size brakes is due to americans only having a FWD VR6 instead of our 4mo VR6 which came with bigger brakes.

    All the info you need for brakes
    VWVortex.com - The brakes of the MK4 platform - OEM and Upgrades

    Also i brought the same plugs from them and haven't had an issue.

    Yeah I've found out 4mo have 312x25 and 256x22
    So found the right rotors on ECS! Lucky I didn't buy the 288's... haha

    To get the front right brakes from ECS, use the Mk1 225hp Audi TT as the car model.

    For what it's worth, the rear brakes on the Bora V6 4Motion are the same as on the Mk4 Golf R32 (they're just not painted blue).
    Nothing to see here...
