spark plugs etc, completly confused

Hello to everyone. I`am from a Russian town called Magadan. Soon i`ll be a happy owner of 04 TSX. Now i`am looking for what upgrades to be done on my futere vehicle.
On my previous car (Honda Ascot Innova (H23A)) i have installed an NGK Iridium Max sparks (ZFR6FIX-11). Now i`am trying to choose spark plugs for my TSX. The original sparks are IZFR6K-11, i have searched the entire i-net but i can not understand.
Some catalogs say that IZFR6K-11 has a platinum chip on a ground ectrode, some others say nothing.

Happyowners please open my eyes, and tell me if IZFR6K-11 has a platinum chip on it ground electrode.

And if no, has anybody installed "NGK Iridium Max" sparks, or maybe Greddy, HKS?

Also i have another questions - have anybody installed ground kit (minus cord from battery to other units), and if installed what is the order of installation cords on units under hood, maybe there is a scheme of how to do it.

And another one - I prefer to drive car fast, is it needed to install an ATF cooler ?
and does Honda/Acura recommend Redline atf (i dont remember the proper name of it, but it was recommended on a comptech site a some ammount of time ago) or should i choose an ATF-Z1 ?
btw here we have to versions of ATF-Z1

1) 4L canister.
2) 990ml or 900ml jar.

"1" seems to be an import from Japan, "2" is from USA, am i rght ?

p.s. sorry for my bad English.

look into the bosch fusion plugs.. its what i run and i love them.. they are iridium with platinum.. not sure how much it will be in russia but in the US they are 45 dollars for 4 of them.. if you want more spark then that get Okada coilover system its 736 U.s. dollars

Just for interest can you tell me a part number of Bosch? But in case of NGK, i have found an NGK part number of IRIMAX in a catalog see the attached file.

Expensive! But what about benefits? Are they really sensible? Have you used em?

And can you tell something about ATF cooler ?

the bosch fusion part number is 4418
the okada coil over probably gives about 8 more hp which is barely noticeable.. its more noticeable on the highway when you want that extra umph.. helps the fuel economy too..
and i dont know about the ATF cooler.. i would think running royal purple in the trany would be better then honda fluid.. it can withstand alittle bit more shock and friction.. thats just my opinion though.. no way to actually prove it.. I changed my fluid over to it and it shifts nicely.. i have 50K miles on my car and i changed it at 45K and it still feels brand new its nice
