Spark Plugs?

**Stayxtrue** · 05-02-2013 10:26 AM

Hey guys, Called to have my car booked in for the 100k and they have advised me that the spark plugs will cost me $180... This sounds extremely expensive to me!

What spark plugs should I be using, I will price my own and go back to them and so no go!

NGK (6994) IZFR6K-11 Iridium Spark Plug are the ones I got.

As stated above go on amazon or ebay and get NGK ones i did that with mine, cost me like 60-80 bucks delivered.

Yea I have just done that and was able to get them for $46... How on earth can they justify the cost beats me!

It depends on the dealer. With Toyota, they quoted $25 each for my V6 Camry, but when I purchased it, they charged me $70 for the half dozen. They said they only charged that much if people purchased individually.... although I guess if the guy at the counter was dodge, he could have charged me $150 for it (wouldn't have bought it though).

On a side note; are there any better sparks available? Are these iridium coated or iridium core? And any leads to go with these to increase performance? Hotter spark = better efficiency after all.

Find the right spark plug spec and jump on ebay.

not really unless you wanna go for something like plasma ignition.

It's just something I'm thinking of. I mean when you change the sparks, they last 100 000km, and aren't particularly expensive. Even a 1% efficiency increase would be worth it. Also noticing APEXi make Racing sparks... wonder what that means. Perhaps should look at coil packs and leads as well. Anyone know what good company makes sparks, coil packs and leads for the CL9? Can only seem to find sparks.

Lookup pulstar plugs maybe?

Some people say its snake oil tho.

Else a set of copper tipped plugs usually conduct the spark better, but the last 1/2 as long.
