HKS Sparkplugs - where to buy?
Anyone have an idea where I can purchase a set of the HKS super iridium spark plugs? I am looking to buy a pair of the 525RE and 55RE. I tried looking on their website but it appears that they no longer take online orders. Any help would be appreciated.

The 525RE (10.5'S) are not in stock in the US, there are some of the 55RE (11's)
I prefer to use the Denso Iridium Racing plugs which are less expensive and easier to get Spark Plugs 93+ RX-7

I suspect that the HKS are rebranded Denso since they are fine wire Iridium.
We have both NGK and Denso, we sell the both for less then the link you provided. Spark Plugs 93+ RX-7
We do not bother to list the HKS because they are more expensive and very long lead time if not in stock.

This may be a newbie question (shame on me) but here goes:
I had my car dyno tuned using the HKS M55RE and M525RE, if I switch to a different spark plug would I need to get my car re-tuned if I use plugs in the same heat range or colder?

Because I have been using those same plugs for 10+ years and am **** about the little details with my car...
I just ordered a set from Omar with Dragon Motorsports. With that said, I am going to have to consider getting different plugs in the future if these become discontinued or no longer available for sale...

We sold tons of the HKS plugs for R35 GTR's at Boost Logic but all of them honestly are rebranded NGK plugs. They were literally indented "NGK" on them in small type. Im sure HKS outsources all their plugs to be manufactured by NGK. Just get some NGK's and save $$.

The NGK, Denso and HKS race plugs can all be gapped for optimal performance.
It is not really a power level that determines the plug, it is the level of modification and RPM the engine is running at. Running a plug that is too hot used in a highly modified engine that is driven hard consistently will simply retain too much of the extra combustion temperature and burn itself up ,usually cracking the porcelain, and potentially doing major engine damage.
For example, we run NGK 10.5's in N/A ITS race cars that are only 200whp, but consistently see 9500rpm.
