I was just wondering if the expensive denso ones would last longer

well I have fitted the spark plugs over the xmas break and cannot see why audi would want to charge £787. I took my time and in all it took about 3 hrs including cleaning and re oiling the itg filters the worst two plugs are the ones near the bulkhead as you have to remove a few electric connectors etc and turn the coils to get them out .
I would recommend anyone doing the job but do it on a summers day

we use (modified stage 2 plus);

DENSO IK01-24

or NGK

R7434-8

Both have the better electrode design, which reduces the chance of det damage and is a few heat ranges cooler.

STD setups or stage one:

DENSO IK01-22

or NGK

R7434-7

Better tip design but only one heat range cooler.

@huntersmob the denso plugs are of better build and quality generally as for life span i cant say.
