Where is the best price to buy sparkplugs

If I want them cheap, I could just go ebay, Not sure I want to trust them to sell me real Densos. The least I have found is around 12 a plug, does anyone know of a better deal for real ones? Also I smelled fuel yesterday first when driving, then from the back when parked.. I don't know if it has anything to do with that notice that I got, unfortunately my car was purchased with 158k on it, I might try to see if they will honor the clogged evap issue. I didn't smell it today either when I was driving or when I parked today. I did almost fill my tank on Monday.

Best price? That depends on the day, the phase of the moon and which way it's hangin'. This requires leg (uh, finger?) work on your part.

I got a set of OEM Denso's from Amazon last month for $88.00. Best price I could find at the time.
Stick with the stock.

It is funny, almost 30 years ago I had a Suzuki Swift GT and at one time I tried a bunch of different spark plugs. NGK (Original) ,Bosch Platinum, and these others that didn't have a tradition ground electrode. There might have been more, but those are the ones I remember. The originals were the best, I think the bosch platinum was the worst. The one without the traditional ground electron was pretty okay.


I would only go with the Densos. I have found them for 72 a set. I could try to go with Ebay, but they have a lot of forgeries.

Iridium tipped Densos for $83 and change after shipping.

Take a look at the new ruthenium NGKs on RockAuto. The latest electrode technology available for $8.30/plug is probably the best deal out there.

I looked into those new sparkplugs, saw a recommendation on Club Lexus. I will probably wait to replace until November, and buy some Z1 Silicone Intakes and PCV valves, get all the maintenance done at once. I plan on getting the Coils replaces as well since they will have 190k on them by the time. My old BMWs went 220k and were fine, but why take the chance, especially when they are so much more painful to get to. Found some Hibachi Coils on Ebay for 25 Each.
