Where can I find HKS Racing Spark Plugs for FD?

I hear these run about $80 a piece... looking for a set of 4 of them.

If anyone knows where I can find them, please throw the info my way!

Thanks

I heard that XS engineering will only tune with those plugs. you could try them or im sure any HKS local dealer can get there hands on them if you have some time.

The rx7store sells the NGK Racing plugs and they are $140 a peice for 10.5 heat range.

I guess I should ask are HKS Plugs what I need?

Read my sig for mods...

I am doing methanol injection after 12psi and running on 91 pump with 22lbs of boost. Should I go platinum or racing plugs? I hear the racing plugs can be pulled out and cleaned off with carb cleaner and re-used. I hear the last forever.

They're re-badged Denso's but those run $35 each. Kinda strange that the HKS's are cheaper!

Why don't you just buy NGK EIX iridium plugs....they cost about $8 each. You just need a ground down socket, which you can get from Racing Beat or do it yourself if you have the tools.

I remember hearing a horror story about an HKS iridium losing it's electrode and grenading a motor.

Why not just use the NGK or Greddy race plugs? They are around 30 bucks each, and you really only need them in the leading plugs. I have never heard of 140 dollar spark plugs.....are you sure it isnt 140 for a set of 4?

lol, go to the site bro. $140 PER PLUG it is like, ** $140 PER PLUG **

Yeah it's nuts...

I don;t mind which brand, I just want something that is going to last me a good while. If I can pull them out and clean them, and put them back. That would be awesome. =)

Thanks for pointing that out. I have changed that to a set of four plugs. I didnt realize I had it worded like that.

For your power/boost level 9s all around won't cut it. You will need 10s, 10.5s, 11s etc.
