When your running decent ammounts of boost and making decent power closing the gaps and frequent changes of plugs are needed regardless if they are $20 irriduims or $3 el cheapo coppers.

Thats why you man up and get a front mount, changing plugs is a 2 minute job.

Im not necessarily saying that he should change his plugs every 5000km, im simply using my own experience as an example to say you dont need to spend your life savings on plugs.

Just FYI i use the stock twin tipped platinum plugs on my Chaser, because its wasted spark ignition. Its my daily and only mildly modified, running different plugs is simply going to be a hinderence.
