screw spark plugs, pop some glow plugs in that bish. Or you can look on Ebay. name brand plugs for a couple bucks cheaper than the parts store.

I get mine at Napa and they're about $12-$13 a piece for the OEM NGK's. Better than getting them from the stealership at $25 a pop.

The 9's can only run the iridium's and the 8's are able to run copper's...

Have you tried Sparkplugs.com. I personally haven't tried them. I went to the dealer and paid like $52 for a set.

The reason 8's are so cheap are because of length, not just the type.

But yes kragen or auto center near you are all going to be around the same price!

i spent $11.99 a plug

Make real sure they sell you the right plugs for some reason most chain stores have the wrong number in there system with a reach that's too short.

They are expensive plugs because there are only 2 car that take this size, the evo 9 and the hyundia genisis. The best rout is to get the cheepos then just change them everyoil change.
