Default 2007 Mustang GT spark plug issue

Just brought my 2007 GT wityh 26,000 miles to get plugs replaced at dealer based on reading threads in forum. I purchased a set of one piece Champion Plugs online. Servioce intake told me Champion plugs are no good and car might not run right afterward. Am I creating a problem or solving a problem by doing this?

Some people will say Champions are bad, I installed mine
2 years ago have 20k on them with no complaints, did have
1 plug fail in first week of use, ceramic broke and slid down
and covered electrode causing a miss, same problem that is
happening with Brisk plugs, once I got free replacement been
running fine. Like most things you will hear more from people
who have had problems than those who haven't.

The plugs are fine. They just have a vested interest in having you run OEM stuff.

Just like the others have said already, the Champions are fine. I put the Champions in mine in 1-1/2 years ago and have had zero issues of any kind and I don't have to worry about the POS 2-piece OEM plug breaking off.

No problems at all with my Champions. I've had 'em for over 20K miles - car runs great.
