I'm about to blow your mind but I actually use OE style NGK's in mine and I have seen some difference.. (1990 renix style)
A little FYI,, the platinum bosch's are the same that are used in a 90's-2003 Dodge Viper...
Also, Don't regap your platinums, you will wear off the coating on the electrode tip.. Always, always, ALWAYS check your gap on Champions and Autolites, from experience I have seen them to be the worst (next to ACDelco's) with gapping issues.
Cheers.

i use the ngk's and you defiantly need to check your gaping they are not preset for the cars so you can put yours in with out gaping them but maybe you have just been lucky
I have a 2001 cherokee sport, a 2002 Wrangler, and a 2002 Honda Civic. The Civic only runs well on bosch platinums, however BOTH jeeps only run well on the champions.
I have made the $40+ mistake
of buying platinums, plus 2s and plus 4s. Every time this resulted in lower fuel economy, and less (noticably less) power.

Tried the bosch +4 on my 00xj. Seemed like it idled rough for a few months.
Replaced them with autolite double plats and engine runs smooth. They were a pain to gap though.
