I change mine when they need replacing

I know, not the answer you were probably looking for, but I check all of my "wear" items frequently.

I agree I check them once a week just to be safe, then change them as needed. Although lately I do it every other oil change. It's only $8!

"every oil change"

^^ Agreed. Every forced induction car, especially high horsepower, needs the plugs replaced every oil change. That is about every 1500 miles if you are meticulate about your car. About the plugs themselves, I order them from Jotech. I forget the name! But they will know.
