Re: Spark plugs

NGK or Denso Platinum is all I'd use, and they aren't as easy as most cars but they aren't TOO difficult, you'll need a good 1/4" drive ratchet and a 10mm socket to get the coils off, and then you can get the plugs out with a socket wrench, short extension, and a plug socket. The rear one on the driver's side is the most difficult but the rest of them are fairly easy. For extra clearance, you can remove the air box and the battery, and you can also undo the motor mounts and jack the engine up (Carefully!) for some extra clearance.

Re: Spark plugs
