[W126 Coupe] 2 ?s

Yup, I'm using NGK iridiums as well.  I found them to be pretty good.
Anyone else have similar results?

I replaced my stock plugs with Iridium's in my SEL Question: why are you
against platinums.

I would use Benz antifreeze because it's cheap insurance against a costly
repair. Also, do not take out the plug below the radiator all the way, just
take it out enough to drain. Unless you have a helper to wiggle around the
radiator at the top, it's a real PITA to get back in once it's totally out.
Plugs require no special tools, just a spark plug socket (and a torque
wrench to torque down the replacements), but I think you'd be wise to get
one of the spark plug sockets with a rubber insert that holds onto the
sparkplug, otherwise you'll be contorting your hand in all sorts of ways. I
really like the ones with a pivot joint that came with the tool kit that
came with the car. Just to make sure, you're using stock plugs and not
platinums, right?
