Anyone know of any places besides shops like GST, Speedelement etc.(which are all closed today) that sell sparkplugs for a STI..one of my plugs decided to foul out last night and now im in desperate need of some new ones. TIA

anyone?????

 

have u tried ur local kragen? if u dont need 1 step colder plugs, and just the oem spec plugs that came with the car at time of purchase, you could probably get it at kragen

 

they didnt have any..all they stocked were wrx plugs..i just got off the phone with napa..and they said that ngk irridiums were 9 a piece. is it just me or does that sound to cheap to be true?

 

have u checked any dealerships?


*edit* where are u located?

 

located in san leandro. i called oakland and they had them for about 23 each..im hoping i find them somewhere else..for that pricei can probably get way better plugs.

 

Monument usually has everything or can get it in a day or less

 

We will be at the shop from 8am till 11:30am tomorrow if you still need a set, incidently I have been here since 8:30am this morning and will be here for another hour.

The NGK Iridiums at $9/each will be just fine, actually, they would be great plugs to have. They'll last you about 30k-50k miles.

Look up the part number at ngks site and then double check with napa.

 

i wish i read this saturday night before i called off the search..and decided to just forget about it and get drunk..

i checked the part number napa had and compared it to ones i found online..and the plugs they said were for sti's turned out to be wrx plugs..even though when they looked it up in the computer as a 2.5 liter turbo(2005).

thanks everyone for the help..ill probably make my way to gst sometime this week for the plugs

thanks
jeff

 

WRX spark plugs (pre-'06) - 22401AA530 - $13.40 ea.
STi spark plugs (All years) - 22401AA630 - $15.47 ea.

WRX ('06-xx) are the same as the STi.

 

I just put the one step colder iridiums in my car last night...well more specifically jeff put them in.... anyways. I was having some lean/detonation problems and idle problems. Plugs were still good just on the white side.

My car is running like a friggin champ this morning. I got sideways leaving my house. Banged second gear and was gonzo. Idle is back up to where it should be...800/1000 or so.

Definately recommend going with these plugs.

The coppers are only a couple bucks but they won't last as long.

 

Just remember, with iridiums, do NOT gap them. You'll break the tip
