Spark plug NGK or BRISK

I only use NGK or Nippon Denso plugs, for a reason after a career as a technician.

The NGK plugs are like $8ea when you buy 16. Still costs you nearly $800 less than what the dealer cost for that job is. And they last 60-75k miles.

Spark plugs do actually vary for some reason, I always use whats oem to the car. In my case thats the ngk iridium plugs (same goes for cables).

NGK or bust.

Most manufacturers don't make their own spark plugs anyway. They are usually just rebranded Denso/NGK/Bosch. I would have no concern fitting NGK spark plugs provided the part number is correct.

Use NGK brand and replace it.

NGK are my goto plugs but I’m pretty sure you’ve got the plugs that are notorious for breaking apart when removing them

I recently took my stage 2 43K mile b8.5 s4 apart and did the PCV, water pump, thermostat, new 2 step colder brisk spark plugs gapped to .25. I took the spark plugs out and noticed heavy carbon and the ground electrode was white, even on all plugs . (20 miles on plugs)

Put in new plugs which are NGK 2309 at stock gap which was recommended by my tuner. DID NOT CHANGE OR FIX MY PROBLEM.

Those spark plugs don't look like the highest quality parts. Get some from NGK or Bosch. Better made parts that are more suited to modern engines
