Ask for the part numbers post em up here and we can tell you. Failing that if you trust the person you are buying off just ask him and hopefully he wont lie but you will know when you see the box. Also remember most ppl only put 3 x iridium (or platinum) in the FTO's (rear bank) and put normal cheapies in the front bank

I have Iridium IX all round, works a treat.

Iridium plugs these days last as long as platinum ones and they perform
better also.

imo, change it all to iridium ix.

What eva floats your boat really. I personally also have iriduims all round but normal ones will do just fine and heaps of members run that setup with no worries as long as they are replaced regulary

Well that all depends on your skill level some would say piss easy and some would say hard. You just have to remove more stuff really.

Depends how confident you are about removing the manifold and if you have the tube spanner.
