ALERT--Unscrupulous Online Vendor

Anyone looking for non-resistor copper plugs may come across an online vendor in the UK by the name of Mister-Solutions Ltd. Beware of potentially fraudulent business practices. He advertises availability of correct NGK plugs but cannot deliver. You'll play hell trying to get a refund. Avoid him!

I bught the NGK ones I have from sparkplugs.com and yes non resistor although you have to put the model number in yourself, if you search by your model, they only list resistor plugs.

I tried hard enough to find them locally. I found BP5ES at locals, but I need BP5EFS, so I've been told.

yeah the BPE5S are a totally different plug....I accidentally bought some (brought them back)

My car has been running awesome using cheapo CHAMPION RESISTOR spark plugs. It pulls hard to 115+ mph.....and gets 22mpg cruising at 72mph. I'm gonna say thats plenty good. Fires right up even when its like 0F out too.

The Bosch non-resistor plugs I had in a while back ran like crap after about 50-60 miles. I have about 1800 miles on the champions, and they still work great....no fouling.
