Spark plugs for CHEAP!
Ok, I searched around for about an hour, and couldn't find ANY information on getting the OE Iridium plugs for cheaper than the $52 Mazda, Racing Beat, and Mazdatrix charge!
So I found some! Advance Auto Parts!

Just thought I'd share in case people didn't know, they also have the trailings!

i apologize, they do have an iridium electrode. but that price is still too high for the plugs.
the stock spark plugs are part number RE7CL for the leading and RE9BT for the trailing. they are an NGK plug, platinum series. these are the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) plugs, which are the same exact plugs that if you went to mazda and purchased them, would cost 70 to 80 a plug.

I got them 80 bucks shipped, all 4. If I dig deeper I can probably find something a bit lower, but oh well I was a bit lazy.

There are at least 5 websites that have them, each plug is between about $20 and $22, with free shipping. So with any of these sites you can get the whole set for less than $85 shipped.
www.thepartsbin.com
www.sparkplugs.com ($8 shipping, so total is ~$89)
www.autohausaz.com
www.autopartsgiant.com
and probably many more...
