Or, if you want to spend money, just get the NGKs, and mail me the extra $20 you would h ave spend for those laser plugs.

cool. The plugs on these are super easy. 2 10mm bolts holding the coil packs to the valve cover. Take off 2 plug wires. Then use the smaller plug socket with extension to tale out plugs. Once removed, reinstall coilpacks and plug wires, bolt em down and done!

I went to the source, www.ngk.com. here is the facts. Of course, double check the gap on them before installing, they may have been bumped in shipping. BKR5E-11 0.044

edit: copying the webpage did not work. so go here:
