Corrections happen because of knock conditions. Spark plug change or ignition coil change should not have much to do with reducing knock. The only way it would be related is if the spark plug was not the correct one to begin with and was running very hot.. Thats the only reason a spark plug will help with knock.

Spark plug gap alos has nothing to do with knock. A huge misconception. IT has to do with a misfire which obv is a completely different condition.

What helps with knock ? Octane of the fuel. Heat reduction from the intake air/ larger intercooler. And other reasons such as reducing the boost and reasons which you cannot even modify such as static compression, ignition timing retard.
