I have 02 WRX, 60,000 miles, no mods, and want to change the spark plugs. My dealership quoted me $75.00 for a set of 4 spark plugs (platinum). That sounds insane. Where do you folks buy plugs, and how much do you spend? Are they totally trying to rip me off?

Thanks

Josh

summit racing. NGK Iridiums (1 step colder) $8/ea

i think it's this one (don't have the box in front of me)
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=NGK%2D2667&N=400395&Nao=10&autoview=sku

$40 for 4 platinums

That's actually not bad if they install them too. If that's just for the plugs, it's a big rip off.

Thats just the plugs. I called too.

I've used www.sparkplugs.com with good results.

yeah, that was the price I was quoted for the plugs only (not including labor). I feel bad for the unsuspecting people who actually pay that rip off price. Like they always say, buyer be ware!!!


Thanks for the quick replies

i was quoted $12 per plug, plus installation. so i ask, "how much for installation". $170 they say. :lol: :lol: :lol: anchor subaru

Or you can spend about $1.98 for regular plugs and change them once a year or so.

You must like taking out all the surrounding crap out to get to the plugs once a year. I have to say... I love my car, but changing plugs is kind of a pain when you compare it with non-horizontally apposed engines.

yeah my dealer charged me 133 to install my NGK iridiums, they only cost me 36 from sparkplugs.com lol
if i would of known 133 install i would of ran to somewhere else like my driveway

I'll change anyones plugs for $30. Of course, they supply the plugs.

....takes me an unhurried 40 minutes or so.....

clubplug.net sparkplugs.com both are good.

anyone have the part number for the NGK iridium -1 colder for 02-05 2.0L wrx? cant seem to find it on either sites?

I heard of this thing called The Spark Plug FAQ (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=518633) and it had all this good information in it about spark plugs and spark plug part numbers, too, anywhere know where it is?

$250 for install. If you know how to turn a wrench I would do it yourself. 6-10 dollars for plugs. I got mine at Advance Autoparts for 7 bux, one step colder. Changing the plugs on our cars takes a while but you tend to smile more when it is done because you will have 200 more dollars in the pocket.

the toyota dealership wanted $13 a pop for my denso iridum plugs

True, there is more stuff in the way, but it's really not that bad. Passenger side is just the intake funnel and airbox and the driver's side is pretty much just the washer fluid container.

hahaha, thanks man.
You found the link I was looking for, and the intelligent use of sarcasm made me laugh.

:lol:

Why are you guys going 1 step colder? Power mods or just because?

<---18g

I bought these for $10 each at partsamerica.com
http://www.ngk.com/results_cross.asp?pid=4853&x=0&y=0

They're the 1-step colder plugs. :)

I can move even faster if the engine is warm.

+1 for sparkplugs.com. And do it yourself, you'll learn a lot. Good instructions over on scoobymods.com too.

Go to Advaced Auto or AutoZone and get what the factory recomends.

NGK Iridium = PFR7G = one step colder
NGK Iridium = PFR6G = standard

List price on your plugs is $14 and some change- they shouldn't charge more than $60 for a set of 4. I got a set of Iridiums straight from Japan for my v6 motor (by way of Rallispec) for only about $40.

I like the bosch 4 prong plugs for 5.99 each at advanced auto. I use them because since electricity will always take the path of least resistance, I figure give it four paths to chose from??

...those plugs suck balls for a turbo Subaru application....

Those plugs suck in general. Just go with the OEM platinums or NGK copper plugs.

...they won't have it....I promise.

They had stock plugs on the shelf at the Autozone I went to.
