I don't understand what you're asking.

Are you saying you should just get a pair of leadings or just a pair of trailings?

If your car is stock, stick with a pair of 7's and a pair of 9's.

If your car is mildly modified + I'd go with a set of all 9's.

When you goto the RX-7 store, there are two types of NGK; Lead and Trailing.

Which should I get if I don't mod my car?

Get 2 leading (heat range 7) and 2 trailing (heat range 9).

Why is your car stock?

Mod that ****

Thanks for replying my post!

The reason why tis stock is because I will restore the engine and strip the car completely. I want a light weight handling/drift car, not too powerful.

...You've got to be the first person on the forum saying they HAVEN'T modified their car. Either way, 2 leading/2 trailing plugs. 2 leading plugs go on the bottom/2 trailing plugs go on the top...

oh okay, the leading is the hole where I squirt in the ATF! This whole Rotary thing is starting to make sense to me!

You want to drift, but you don't want horsepower? That makes drifting more fun!!! Trust me

BTW, the car won't be stock until it sees major treatment in the suspension area.

Intake won't be stock either...clutches/pumps/brakes will be aftermarket.

I think my car isn't really stock. Only my engine is.

You see, the car needs to be restored to top shpae before I run any mods! Pray for me. Pray that my engine would be in top shape so I can mod it as soon as possible!
