Gentlemen,

Among my searches I came across this site:

RX8 Performance

Prices look pretty good to me. These are the correct spark plugs, I believe. Are they not?

Is there a better place to get these spark plugs? (I checked our club listed vendors first, so don't shoot me, I did try).

Let me know, thanks!

 

6 bucks ... ? WTF thats crazy cheap

Theyre not OEM though.

 

Sorry... I had to relink the website, the ones I was looking at are closer to $20 bucks each.

 

Cheaper on ebay...

JDM Mazda RX8 NGK Laser Iridium Power Spark Plugs RE7CL Trailing RE9BT Leading | eBay

 

20 bucks each for OEM plugs (NGK) is about as good as I was able to find. I just ordered some with the BHR kit ($80 for plugs)... Just my 2 cents, but spark plugs are not something you want to cheap out on...

 

geez, that's a good price. Any experience with them?

 

I've bought my plugs on ebay before and nope no problems. Those are the OEM plugs, so you should be good.

Haven't personally dealt with that particular seller, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't go well.

 

Scott is a great guy:

 

On Amazon currently for $16.21 apiece :




The one review on those says packaging is iffy; the ones I've had bookmarked for a while instead are $18.29 apiece :



EDIT : Oh, Canadians, eh? Umm... not sure how Amazon.com fares for shipping up north, sorry.

EDIT EDIT : I think I have to concur with this post :

 

Nice find! thanks.

 

I've decided to go with RX8 Performance. It's a little more pricey, but nothing replaces a buyers confidence when a fellow member vouches for the owner of the business.

Actually... when the transaction completes, I'll add my thoughts on RX8 Performance too. I'm totally down for promoting a local rx8 enthusiast that's giving back to his community.

Keep you guys posed! And thanks for the quick links everyone!

Fixed that for you.


Advance Auto Parts is the cheapest place to get plugs, just search slickdeals for promo codes, right now they have $40.00 off orders of $100.00 or more and you can order online or in the store and use it. You can even order online and pick them up at the store.

 

A number of sellers on Ebay have good prices on plugs and wires.

 

Advanced Auto Codes
Note that motor oil and other exclusions apply. The coupons (which do not stack):

20% off sitewide via code "P20"
$10 off orders of $30 or more; $25 off $70 or more; $40 off $110 or more via code "A124"
$20 off $50 or more via code "ES123"
$30 off $90 or more via code "HUGE30"
$40 off $100 or more via code "TRT41" "DOW19"
$50 off $175 or more via code "HUGE50"

 

^ There you go Four new plugs for $60.00 is not bad.

 

+1 I got that from paimon.sorir's and alnielson's posts.

 

SARX is a bunch of coupon *****'s, there is easily 25 bottles of Mobil1 in my garage and at one point I had three or four sets of new plugs,

 

Likewise, I have at least one set of plugs on reserve.

 

I have nothing bad to say about the guy, I have purchased many items and had them shipped to Canada with no problems whatsoever!

 

Didn't know. Sorry about that.

 

Yes. Many people have purchased from him successfully. Many others have lost lots of money. Over $70,000 combined if my memory serves correctly. He was banned because of that and has attempted to bypass his ban multiple times by signing up here under different company names.

So the key problem with anything surrounding his products is the people that have dealt with him just fine vs those that have lots LOTS of money and are understandably angry over it.

But, this isn't an appropriate place to discuss his reputation. Granted, no where is really, because there are so many people emotionally charged over the topic.


There is plenty of information here to use. I'll leave the thread open unless people really start diving into the war over Scott.

 

That is a a very good warning and I'm sorry to hear it. I'll definitely keep that in mind, when selecting my preferred vendors.

Purely out of curiosity, is there a promo code for 200+ ? (I was planning to get coils and ignition wires too)

 

I don't think so, it tops out at $175.00 I think.

 

Advance auto parts doesn't ship to Canada.
Any other suggestions?
