Shit- Spark plug mix up!
 
Okay, heres the situation:

I see that sparkplugs.com lists its sparkplugs as this:

RE7CL==Leading
and
RE9BT==Trailing

HOWEVER

I ordered the same set of plugs from atkinsrotary.com and they had this on my invoice:

RE7CL== 2004+ Rx8 Spark Plug - TRAILING
RE9BT== 2004+ Rx8 Spark Plug - LEADING

I thought that the RE7C-L= leading spark plug and RE9B-T= trailing spark plug

also, the green and blue tape on the plug wire top signifies the trailing plugs, right?

HELP!!!

The L in RE7CL= leading and the T in RE9BT= Trailing I just think it was a type-o

oh im way overdue for my 30k maintenance (30,500 miles)

boniface-hiers mazda/kia wanted to charge me 500$ for it, but i figured i'd rather do it myself- not worth it, even if they DO have the world's best mazda mechanic

The plugs do not look to bad. Also anyone wanting to buy new plugs for the 8 go to www.autopartswarehouse.com they sell for 85 for all 4 with free shipping. One important tip though when you put the new plugs in put some anti-seize on them.

How long should we be going on a set of stock plugs? I keep hearing wildy different estimates.
