well they look the part ...  but there is an oddity.  It appears they are pre-gapped to .028/.029 ?    I cannot find my feeler gauge but my old wire guage .030 wont pass,  it is a hard no on all 6 plugs. 

part number is below and does not have any good details from the googlez
cyfs
092ypt3

hmmm doesnt seem right ...

I've been running mine at .026 for the last year. I think you would be fine running those.

My ceramic has a 3 on the end of it ( CYFS092YPT3 ) .  Wonder if that means revision 3 of the ceramic tip,  mine is the new ''long tapered'' type.
 
Here are the SP-542's.. Whats the part number on the actual spark plug! Z

Part Number: 95822- ILTR7N8

Either of you two fine gents note the part number on the ceramic ?

I did not. If we're being honest, my add generally doesn't allow me to retain anything past the first sentence of any post so I assumed your hangup was more gap based.
 
Update,  I do NOT like these plugs.  I have lost 4 tenths of a second of my 0-60 ... way way not happy.

Dropped from a repeatable 4.4 to a 4.8 ... super pissed since they cost a bunch

I switched to the M-12405-35T plugs about a month ago. They seem to be OK.

I failed to update the thread,  my bad.  A reset seems to have solved it... but i'm baffled and still kinda annoyed that changing plugs had such an effect ..
