crap that's a good deal if you still run stock coils and is about what you'd pay for just the plugs (give or take $20-$40)

You would not have a direct link to those would you?

Did a search and was surprised at the different plugs offered.
I did have my car set to the 06 RX-8

NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug Part No. 2669 $7.09
Autolite Double Platinum Spark Plug Part No. 458DP $2.09
NGK Racing Spark Plug Part No. 4554 $3.59
Autolite Racing Copper Core Non-Resistor Spark Plug Part No. AR3932 $4.09
NGK Racing Spark Plug Part No. 4091 $3.09
Autolite Double Platinum Spark Plug Part No. 295DP $2.09

I thought we only used on type. and leading /trailing at that
NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug (RE7C-L) Part No. 6700 $20.09
NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug (RE9B-T) Part No. 6701 $20.09
============================
OOps found out why. I had to select the button...

See exact fit parts only (3)

AND not the second or default setting.
Show similar parts that may fit (0)

and the coils ?
Gives me these choices

Ignition Coil
BWD/Intermotor Ignition Coil Part No. E1001
[LIMITED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT] Warranty Details
Exact Fit for your 2006 Mazda RX-8 $30.49

Ignition Coil
Beck/Arnley Ignition Coil Part No. 178-8396
[1 YEAR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE] Warranty Details
Exact Fit for your 2006 Mazda RX-8 $49.79

They only have the first ones in stock..but it has lifetime replacement
So does that mean that everytime I change coils, they give me new ones
OR
NOT
only if they go bad?
I read peeps replacing the coils every so often no matter what.

Has anyone ordered this?
My order will not take
It does say it gives me 2 promos
but tech says no way
Kym: Correct, it will show that it took but it will only take the one that gives you the most off. I do apologize but it will not let me add two codes to the order.

but will not take the third one...p20: ok then forget it



Kym: I can check with lead to see if I can get you an extra $15 off, will that work? That will be $65 off plus free shipping.

Rogelio: Hello! How may I help you today?
You: hi there... I'm looking for a status update on an online order i placed about an hour ago
You: order #xxx
You: still shows as pending via PayPal and no "your item is ready for pickup" email
Rogelio: I'd be happy to help you with that. May I also have your full name plus e-mail address please?
You: xxx - xx@xxx
Rogelio: Thank you very much. One moment please, while I look into that for you.
You: thx
Rogelio: Thank you for waiting Shell.
You: sure thing
Rogelio: Because you place your order 28 minutes ago today, the system shows "In Process" status.
You: heh ... felt like an hour
You: it'll process fine I assume?
Rogelio: That's correct shell.
You: k... thanks for the info
Rogelio: Is there anything else I can help you with?
You: nope sounds like i'm good to go ... any idea when the item may be ready for pickup?
Rogelio: Any time.
Within an hour from purchase.
You: ok
You: thanks again
That was with the labor and p20 codes ... the 3rd one (big50) is for purchases over $200.

Caution - check plug gap before using. This was one of the reviews: The product is great, NGK makes great plugs, and nothing can make a rotary run better than a new set of plugs. However the set of plugs I received from advance had to be exchanged in the store for a new set. In shipping they literally just took the 4 plugs and threw them into a small box, no padding. These are [$] plugs that cannot be gapped. One of the plugs didn't even have the cardboard protector around the electrode like the others did. So, as expected, all 4 plugs had different gaps, even between the 2 leading and the 2 trailing plugs. I exchanged them at the store, and the store members proceeded to give me the new pair (Made me happy) but then just placed the damaged goods back onto their supply shelf because they saw no visible damage to the products. Now whoever gets these plugs next are going to be out of luck when they go to install them.

YMMV

The intermotor ones are fine, unless you need to spend more money.

And wires are on there.

Heading out to my local Advance to pick them up now... Will definitely do as you (and the reviewer) suggest, HiFliite. I'm a good 10,000+ miles away from a plug change (just did it) but it's always nice to have an extra set handy + you can't beat the price!

Sorry no clue -- I get my wires from BHR on account of my aftermarket coils. I have a set I pulled just last night that I could measure if you come up empty elsewhere.

You actually have to click next to the item "ship to house" or "pick up at store" Took me a few minutes to figure that out too. Was pissing me off

Darn mom should not have dropped me on my head ( 6 times ) when I was a baby.
I finally got it.
That was mostly error on my part I guess or just the site was a bit hard to follow for me

Yes, on the cell phone I noticed I had to select home or ship.

But one each item?

The coils are not in stock, only one. So those will be delivered.
The plugs I should be up local.

Thanks op for the heads up

Dammit!!! I just found out right now and I'm too late for it...dammit!

Anyway, I've been looking for one, and the cheapest one I could find is on eBay...the whole kit (plugs, coils, and wires) for $257.
