they work however u need a spacer for one of them (L) or (T) but not sure which....I personally think you are better off just running stock rx8 plugs

I'm currently running stock RX-8 plugs in the trailing, and RX-7 plugs in the leading. I didn't want to fool with a spacer, and possibly screwing something up.
My fuel mileage is the exact same with the -7 leading plugs. I've got no noticeable loss of power. I've been running these for about 4,000 miles, so far, with no noticeable issues/problems.
I'm planning on pulling the plugs at 10k miles to check them out, to satisfy my own curiosity. I'm not expecting to see anything significant/different. And for the cost difference, it's well worth it to me to run the 7 plugs if there's no difference in mileage & carbon build up.

So does anyone have a website or source where I can find the 2mm shims? I have been looking for them here in town, and cant find them. I am starting to get misfires whenever i am off the throttle. So if anyone can help me find them I would greatly appreciate it. I went ahead and bought 9's for the "L" and "T" for my turbo application.

Does anyone know where you can get the 2mm (or 1mm) shims for the trailing plug? or would plain washers do the trick?
Would these work? http://www.mcmaster.com/#98089a392/=1jnhf8

To Brettus, if you see this, I'd really love to know more about your naked housing and rx7 plug. I ran all trailing rx7 plugs for a while, using two shims for the trailing position. After reading your post, I'm just wondering if the 21mm vs 19mm issue is fact or fiction. No need to waste your time on this thread though, just wondering.
And, NGK part numbers get colder as the number get higher correct? So what is the real reason that rotary leading and trailing heat ranges are off by about two level?
