Urgent: Problem?

Hey is this a problem? Look the one plug is a lot longer than the other. I bought the plugs that are supposed to be right for the STi! The BKR7E plugs!

Well I installed the plugs and they work. There wasn;t really anything unusual. I am waiting to hear back if I need to use different plugs.

Just think of it this way...if the NGK catalog said to use that one and if your car breaks...NGK has to pay for your engine

OK maybe or maybe not

I just talked to NGK, and for this STI this is our plug: lfr7aix. He said that copper is not the better plug, and that it draws more power when strained. The lfr7aix is 1 stage colder, and has a copper core. I'm glad that I am everyone's test dummy, now how do I get to the parts store?

Don't use those short plugs Nate. I don't remember the correct PN for the STi, but you can find it on Nasioc.
