I was tooling around the other day looking for some stuff to buy and came across a set of plugs on advanced auto parts web site. Anyone know why the price difference between these 2.

Also can someone tell me what the exact difference is between the old and new plugs? From what I understand basically all they did was notch the Trailing plug right? 19.99 to 32.99 for the same thing is wierd unless perhapse they are still selling the old style plug. The discription is basically the same though .

I bought my plugs from them and they worked fine. I didn't get them online, I went to the store and the had to order them overnight. But I remember the plugs numbers were different (#L vs #T). I don't know what the second set of plugs are, I think the web interface is wrong. Either way, they are teh same NGK everyone else sells and they worked great with the new coils.

re7c-l and re9b-t

thats what you want.

RX8-Frontier

They are the exact same... Look at the description on both... Why the two different prices?? Odds are, Advance screwed something up when they entered the "new" design into their system. Don't spend more for the exact same part...

I'm not planning on buying plugs I was just surfing around and found these. What is confusing me so much is not really the description but the pics. I have never seen the old stlye plugs and the pics of the leading and trailing are the same- no notches. I'm going to call advanced and see whats up. update to follow.

i was looking for a set this past weekend, and O'Reilly Auto had all 4 plugs for $80 total, but had to order them. In a hurry, I called the dealer and they wanted $162 for the exact same set of 4 NGKs... Stealerships FTL...

update- Just got off the phone with Advance and the guy said there are no 34.99 plugs for the RX-8. He has no idea what the web site is reffering to but i'll bet you can order them at 34.99 and they will ship you the 19.99 plugs.

yeah at 35$ thats a rip off....not only that the damn dealership is sellin all 4 for 210$ over by where i live...i feel bad for the people who dont do research...

O'reilly told me a few mths back(4-5) that they could not even order the plugs. O'reilly employee- "There is no way to get spark plugs for an RX-8 from here".

Yeah, I paid about $80.00 for the ones at Advanced. The most I have ever paid for a set of plugs.

yeah autozone told my cousin that they couldnt get em! how lame is that?

Because one plug has an application for lawn mowers and motorcycles.

Use to work at Auto parts stores.

Well, I'd rather have them say that then order the and plugs, have to wait for them, and have them rip you off.

80 bucks / set seems to be close to the lowest price.

^haha yeah i have been told it sounds like a lawnmower engine (with stock exhaust and no intake mod) the 19.99 is fine that's what they will cost u from teh dealer I believe

I know this is a repost, but I kind of like these:

http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...&products_id=5

About a third the price of OEM plugs from places like sparkplugs.com or BHR, and maybe an eighth the price from a dealer.

from that website :

Spark plugs are often misunderstood by most people. A spark plug's name is quite literal. They are designed to plug the line - and suppress any spark that may come through. Of course, you know what happens if a spark finds an open fuel source!! That could get ugly! KaleCoAuto extra retardant plugs block 99% of spark, and allow 95% of ignition molecules to pass through. That's 25% more than the competition, and unlike the competition, KaleCoAuto plugs never need cleaning.

wtf?

edit: ah, haha, figured out it was a joke website
xdrilled brake lines, hihihi

that website is dedicated to automotive myths etc... stuff like the 100hp chip for your RX-8 and the electricsupernawzcharger... the site is just a joke

ken-x8

I don't see either of those items on the site. But the adjustable power band and the muffler bearing look pretty worthwhile.

lol i was just shooting from the hip as i havent been to kaleco in a while... the general idea is right thogh

motorcycle is not surprising... I run BR10EIX on my car (irridium, colder than the stock trailing for high boost) and they are for motorcycles and cost about $8 each. But you need a special thin socket to install them
