NGK 7s in the lower (leading) holes and NGK 9s in the trailing (top) hole should do it. Prolly go for Platinum. IIRC, the part #s are BUR7EQP and BUR9EQP--not 100% sure. Make sure they're NGK rotary specific---piston spark plugs will be bad for your apex seals .

Re: fuel, what octane are you running now? 87 should be A-ok on an n/a rotary.

I am not running the HKS plugs but I am running the HKS twin power and using the Greddy race plugs and I have had no problems with my ignition, car runs great.

The lower octane is more flamable than the higher octane. Less flamamble means smaller explosion, means less power = possible carbon lock.
