Spark Plugs

my rx8 is going in for a service at my local dealer, they said to me that the spark plugs need changing but they want 150 pounds for just the plugs!!!! After looking around I can get them for cheap on the internet around 20 pounds each. I bought a set of 4 off ebay but they are all LEADING spark plugs, all 4. Do I need trailing spark plugs? Is there any differents between USA and uk plugs in the rx8?

Yes you need Trailing plugs. Some people will put extra gaskets on but why take a chance.

Their available for as little as $20 (US). Both leading and trailing. Contact a member here, Charles R. Hill. Black Halo Racing is his company. He will give you a good price.
