the advanced auto parts here carries a lot of rotary supplies, it supprised me, but you can check their inventory from their website so you can find out a head of time, that is of course if one is near you. If not buy them from mazdatrix

I've been going to checker's for my NGK s/p. The people there are pretty much dumb punk ricers... BUT: They always have NGK there, and The lat 5 times Ive boughten plugs, They ended up giving me the product packaging because I was buying the last sets they had.

Plus... the look of some 16yr old kid that thinks he knows alot about cars, when you tell him that you need two sets of different sparkplugs... its priceless. That and the "4 sparkplugs, so its a 4cylinder huh?" haha. dumbshits. BUT: like i said, never failed me for having it in stock, and they have a pretty reasonable price.

That given, I'd defiantely goto advanced auto if we had one in the area.

they had plugs for mine in stock at the local checker, about 20 bucks for all 4.
The kid was nice enough to write LEADING and TRAILING on the respective boxes after I explained I needed two pairs, I didn't have the heart to tell him they're stamped T and L.

Woohoo! I was going to order plugs online, usually when I need RX-7 stuff the only local place that can get them are Napa (they have to order) or the dreaded Mazda dealership. My local store actually has the NGK's though....

I'd love to drop $5 only for each plug. Up here, I'm paying $50can for a set at the dealership. This Is with my discount there to begin with!
