yesh barfy the back row is PFR7M the front is BKR7EKC-N i changed mine and this is what i get...if yours is diffrent the its must have been changed before.. PFR7M and BKR7EKC-N is factory recommended but you can use all platium if you want

I had them fitted and the mechanic mentioned that they didnt fit properly, he said had to make some sort of modification to get them in. I really didn't know what he was talking about though so I can't help you much further, sorry

As far as I know I don't have a sparkplug removal tool...I'm pretty certain he was talking about the plugs.

alku83 i think your mechanic modified his spark plug removal tools because you don't have the one comes with the car...so do i..

barfy the twin prongs that RPW mention is BKR7EKC-N this is used in the front bank...did they even remove the back bank spakies???please ask SG to ask them...
as far as im concern that NGK would make 2 different sparkies with the same part number...??? if the part number is PFR7M for FTO then thats the one, if you still not sure the you can ask MrFT000 he order these from UK ask him then you'll see. As i said before the back bank is a B*TCH to change thats why Mitsubishi uses platium...if you guys want i can take picture of both spark plugs PFR7M and BKR7EKN-C

tv2408 when rpw done mine they replaced front and back with the twin prong non-platinums.. cant confirm the part number but ya probably right. having non-platinums on the back is fine by me anyway, rpw reckon its only about 15mins of labour getting the intake manifold off to change em again when need be so it wont cost a lot extra in labour. also gives me the chance to look at upgrading the intake system at the same time... :)
