I have heard that it is good to change them every 10k or so depending on how hard you drive the car. I would still stick with the stock plugs 7's in front 9's trailing.

FYI-I would avoid the Mazda dealerships if I were you. I have personally had bad experiences with them.

Each Rotor has a leading plug and a trailing plug. For stock setups, they are different in heat range.

For your setup stick with the stock NGK plugs.

BUR7EQP - Leading - lower plug of each rotor.
BUR9EQP - Trailing - Top plug of each rotor.

Its pretty eacy to do yourself. Just do one at a time so you dont mix anything up (disconnect only one spark plug wire, and remove only one spark plug at a time).

The lettering is on each plug, so just put the matching new plug back in the matching hole.

http://www.racingbeat.com sells them the cheapest I've been able to find at $8.25 each.

Good Luck.

Hmmm... I bought my NGKs at a dealership here in Atlanta for 7.75 each. Naturally each dealership has their own prices.

BTW, didn't see an ecu, upgraded fuel system, or intercooler in your mods. You are going to blow that new engine running a full open exhaust like that.
