You don't want iridium sparkplugs. Any alloy or element that ends in "-um" is essentially a gimmick, or in short, crap.
Order some NGK BKR7E's or some NGK 1283's online and call it good. Get 12 or 16.

If you want 1 range colder than stock, then add (+) 1 to the digit in the part number for the stock plug.
I am not surprised the auto parts counter monkeys didn't know that... I used to be one, and we're mostly morons. But if you want to dissect each number/letter for the NGK part number it explains exactly how to do that in the back of the NGK Catalog. The numeric value refers to the heat range. Add (+1) for 1 range colder, subtract (-1) for 1 range hotter.
