Your KR is too extreme to be from plugs, particularly during winter. Plugs may fix 2-3 degrees of KR at the most. And you're not running boost to the point that you'd need 2 heatranges colder, except MAYBE in the summer.

You have more serious problems that we need to fix. Your car should be fine with TR55'* this time of year.

go to http://www.sparkplugs.com/
go to advanced tuners and you can find the p/n for plugs 1,2,3 or 4 heat ranges colder
i like the tr55-ix 1 heat range colder than stock.

I agree, that has been nagging me for a long time now.
I can't understand why i have massive KR with the 2.2, but as soon as I re-install my 2.55 its gone, compleatly, and all speeds in all gears.

How much boost are you running? If your at 11-12+ I'd run two heat range colder plugs. If you don't mind changing your plugs then I'd run Autolight coppers. I've had better luck with them and dealing with KR the NGK'*.
