Yelp they will cost more #1 because you drive a mazda and #2 because they are for a rotary..

See a rotary is subjected to 3X as much firing, and twice as much heat, thats why our standard stock plugs look like the best 8 cylinder plugs you can buy

Mazda rip off rule of thumb... take what you think it should cost and multiply by ten, if you want horsepower triple it again
