oh. hrm. No idea how many miles these have. Car has 65k now; but coils were supposed to have been replaced w/ engine about 28K - then once later with a bad cat.

I noticed you said that you got the denso's, are they equivalent to the ngk's? Anyone have any opinions of the best plugs for the rx8?

You did gap the plugs? (or at least check the gap?)
I run my plugs at .032, not the stock .045.

Less work on the coils and no spark blow out from the S/C.
