Default Where to get spark plugs?

Is there a good place to get them online? Or would I get the same results going out to Pep Boys?

Same deal either way for the most part. They're not that expensive regardless.

If you go to Pep Boys, they're going to ask you what kind of car and model. If you have a GS-R, then they're going to offer you platinum plugs.

Exactly. For NGK's you have to find out the NGK model # IE BKR7E, then they will cross reference that with the part # which they go by.

You have to make sure you do this, because otherwise like Chris says, theyll just give you the recommended plugs for your car, unless thats what you want.

you might save a few cents by shopping around...but with something so small such as spark plugs just go to the nearest auto store and get the ngk copper ones.

since you are in the bay area...i bet theres tons of autozones and kragens laying around.

does anyone know the part # for the ngk copper? everywhere i look it up, they only have the platinum application. even honda dealers only stock platinum for b-series engines.... $12 a pop.
