Those +4' are about as awesome as SPLITFIRES!

Get them at your local Toyota/Lexus Dealership. If they are a brand your local parts store sells, get them there to not pay up the *** at the dealership.

Sparkplugs.com! awesome people to deal with + they have hell of deals for oem spark + o2's

ngk iridiums over here as well

if you call in with the part # @ hand ask for Yvonne, she gave me a 10% discount the last 2 times i called in w/ part #'s ready, but i also sound like Isacc hayes on the phone so that couldve been another reason.

I ordered mine from Sparkplugs.com, smooth ordering process and fast shipping, I went with the NGK Iridiums for my GS430.
