Default Just went to buy new plugs for the R....

I want the NGK platinum ones that come stock, and I cant find them at any store. Does anyone know a place that has them? Also, are these the best ones to go with? Does $12 a piece sound right? Thanks

The normal copper ones are better conductors. They are cheaper, but you have to change them more often............

Hey Mike, I know I was going with what the Fat guy said!haha. But I cant find a place in town that sells them. Went over to topspeed to see if he had them and he said to get the NGK's that have a -13 at the end. Is that the right model number? Ryan

11 and 13 are just pre gap. 1.1mm and 1.3mm
1.1 is correct but you can always regap them. http://www.sparkplugs.com has what you want.

My mechanic friend made the point the other day that there is a reason that engineers chose the plugs they did, it's because they work best with that car.

Stick to the stock plugs.
