Most reliable place to purchase plugs, coils, and wires

I just got my 2004 rx8 gt, and through the 2 tanks ive gone through i havent managed to get more than 220km before my gas light comes on. Im planning on getting my engine decarbed from mazda this weekend and also im looking to change my plugs and coils. what is the cheapest, most reliable website i can get these parts off of? By the way i dont drive the car extremly hard, or else id understand why i get such bad mileage. I do redline once a day and shift around 3200 rpm usually. Any input will help

Thanks guys

Spend the extra 200 and get yourself a set of BHR ignition coils. Will save you from buying another set of coils in 20k miles and they are way more reliable.

You're wasting your money. Just get the BHR kit.

Hi, and welcome, congrats etc etc

and welcome to the low MPG club :D

as other stated, if i had the extra the BHR coils will nick the pain of replacing the OEMs all time but they come at a price. If you cant do it the first time, then stick with oem. RockAuto sometimes has theirs on sale etc. But check with the venders here first etc.

Get a OE-like replacement set and save? just like buying NGK plugs instead of "Mazda" plugs(which is just NGK)

I have a set with lifetime warranty. 100 bux, how is that wasting money ?

Your best option is ORielys. Not sure on the spelling. But anyways they do lifetime warranties on the coils. So if they do fail or go bad, even after 30K miles you can always get new ones. Some people even just claim they are bad and get them replaced every 10-15k if its needed or not. Last set of coils you will ever buy if you buy from them.

err, just order it from the same place say, Oreiliys or Autozone.

you get everything in "one order", same as "full kit"

how hard can that be?

if you can't even handle that, no offense but I think you should just sell your car and take bus/subway instead.
