Good, good, good,



There is this guy on the water-cooled newsgroups; Randy Waters, and of

the three things I hear him testify to, Bosch Platinums are one of them.

(Metal master pads and having a front sway bar are the other two.:)



Seems they are rocket science but not necessarily tough enough. Did you

find out spec. _why_ they failed? Problem with the central tower?



I have the triple electrode stockers in the 1.8 now, I'm leaning towards

the silbers for the upcoming tune up.
