Default Cheapest place to buy 1 step colder plugs?

I'd like to get in the habit of changing out my plugs on a regular basis...say every 10k miles. I changed them out when I first got my SC installed in June, and I want to change them out soon again. A new set of plugs were included in the used package deal for my supercharger, so I'd like to know the best place to acquire some.

If you buy a bunch of plugs (18 or more), Napa will give you a good deal. It came out cheaper to buy a bulk item of plugs from napa than it was to buy from sparkplugs.com

I did the same with the Napa Gold oil filters! I have enough oil filters for the next 36000 miles!!!

PLFR6A-11 Is the correct 1-step colder plug right?

Where did you find them cheaper ? Shipped ?

Don`t tell me eBay, can`t compare a Shop Price to the one who`s selling stuff from his PC at his house.

Drive up to autozone and and tell them the NGK part number. Then you won't have to pay shiping. If you seriously plan on changing them that often, why don't you buy v-power plugs? They're usually $1.69 each and offer better performance than platinum. Keep in mind that more money doesn't always mean a better plug. The advantage to platinum, is that they resist corrosion the longest and therefore produce the longest service life. The stock platinums require replacement at 105,000 miles!

I don't recall now, but it came out cheaper than buying at sparkplugs.com (with their shipping chrage.)

I was looking for the LFR6A-11 (copper plugs).

Lawn Dart,

Did you actually buy these or are you guesstimating? NGK TR6 is about that price. They will physically fit in our heads but they are too short. The electrode won't even be in the chamber. The "v-power" plug for our heads are the LFR6A-11. they run approx. $5.25 per plug.

Back out the $8 shipping (average), and you are looking at 8.83/plug. We are talking about such a small purchase, and debating $1 or less per plug.

$38.70 + 5.85 shipping. Like me and Craig say. High positive ebay feedback is reputable vendor enough for anybody. I've had A+ experiences with ebay high volume sellers. But maybe some of us actually do go seeking for the better price at times. All you're getting is a set of spark plugs now haha. Not a whole Fi setup and professional tech advice to go with it.

26% margin over what an ebay vendor charges. Man i guess the Forged name does sell very well ! That's all you though good stuff.
