id say search but thats mean
you have 4 spark plugs two leading plugs and two trailing one set goes on the top (leading) and the second pair go on the bottum (tralling)or the other way around i forget but you just need two of each they should be like BURe9q or some number like that just buy two of each and youll be set
or go to pepboys and ask for as set of leading and trailing plugs for your car

ONLY put NGK's in your car. Trust me.
And an easy way to remember which ones go where..
Leading=Lower
Trailing=Top
the plugs are BUR9EQ and BUR7EQ
Any Advance Auto Parts should carry them in stock.
Good Luck and feel free to PM me with any questions you may have!

Hey guys.
I just removed my a/c & p/s...good thing it's roomy, Ok here is the deal. I noticed one of the plugs (left trailing) stick's out than the other 3 is this normal?
Also I noticed all the plugs were leading which I replaced right away with the 2 L and 2T but still couldn't drive the one plug all the way in please advise. I'm new to rotarys but I could tell the previous owner or his mechanic didn't have a clue on what they were doing.
Do you think some damage may be done to the engine by running on 4 leading plugs?

Hey guys.
I just removed my a/c & p/s...nice and roomy. Ok here is the deal. I noticed one plug ( left trailing ) does not go all the way in, is this normal?
Also the engine was runnig on 4 leading plugs which I replaced right away for the official 2T & 2L. what a dumb *** previous owner.
Dou you think any damage was done to the engine by running on 4L plugs?
One more thing after replaced the plugs, still couldn't drive that plug all the way in. I'm new to rotarys but I'm learning a lot from you guys in the club. Please advise, Thanks.

In a S5 Trailing is T for top. Leading is L for lower. Easy way to remember. Also, if you have done any mods to your airflow you can run all 9's (trailing) with no harm and an increase in performance. No numbers, but hotter spark on both seems to burn more fuel. My HC almost dropped to legal on the emissions test when I did this.
