Spark Plugs

Where do local (ontario) guys buy their spark plugs. I can't seem to find a parts shop that has them since not a lot of people have the need for our plugs.

I've been ordering mine in from the states, but with shipping costs it's averaging out to $17.50 per plug plus the fact that I have to wait about a week for them to get here.

Does anyone know of a somewhat local dealer that stocks/carries our plugs?

Thanks,

-Geoff

I'm trying to avoid having to having plugs shipped to me.

For this website the cost per plug including shipping is still $14.22 it's a bit better than the $17.50 I was averaging before.

I'd still just like to know if anyone has a local store they buy from.

Car quest can definitely get them in. I'd assume that a NAPA store would be able to get them for sure.

Sigh... $25 per plug is obviously not what I'm looking to pay ;(

Seems I'll have to stick with ordering them from the states.

Or start using NKG Iridium race plugs (R7420) which last for 30k+ km street driving with some track use and save money in the long run while using a better plug...

I'm running a similar plug in my GTR and they kick ***.

They're $$$$$ but worth it.
