I got NGK from RotaryPerformance since i was already ordering other things from there. I could've probably got from NAPA, but they like to double the price of rotary parts for no reason. Like the spark plugs i bought for $6/each the first time, suddenly changed to $14/each the second time i went by there (NGK BUR7/9EQ).

I think both Rotary Performance and Mazdatrix sell them. Mazdatrix also sells the Magnacore as well as thier own brand.

Honestly, the stock wires are prefectly fine unless you are running a M6A or something like that. And 14 bucks for a spark plug? Damn. I usually pay a little under 6 bucks regulars, 7 for plats.

If you want NGK's try here $28.67 for the set. Less than the $43.00 at NGK:

I told him he was full of it, since the last time i had paid $6.something/each. So he knocked it down to $7, said he was doing me a favor or some BS. Now i buy my plugs from O'Reilly's Auto for $7 on the EQP's.

i got a set of msd wires from a local shop and love them. they ran me about 85 or so with shipping. great because of the wire covers and won't have to replace them when i throw a msd dis2 ignition box in.

Had same problem, went to my local auto store. Probably lower quality, though. I hear there are others that will last longer.
