Default NGK Iridiums

Does anyone know where I can get some NGK Iridiums for a fair price? I saw some on eBay for like $50 shipped, is that about as good as I'll get price wise? I need to replace my spark plugs soon so I was just wondering if anyone knows somewhere to get them for a good price. Thanks.

Okay cool. I have a 94 SC300 2JZ-GE so I guess I can go that route. How does everybody feel about the NGK Iridiums performance/reliability wise? Because that is what I am looking for, performance/reliability/longevity of the spark plugs so I don't have to replace them all the time. I've heard NGK Iridiums are the best money can buy, is this true?

Had em on my SR in my S13.

Didn't notice anything that would make me shun the name, but at the same time I wasn't screaming w/ happiness.
They're just plugs. (:

I could tell spark was way better but that's probably because the plugs before that were shot all to hell.

i bought off OReilly why are you trying to get them just 10 dollars cheaper you gotta pay for the good stuff and it pays for it self i could tell it ran better and they are suppose to last 150000mile.. also get wires would help to and timing belt there isnt really a performance one your typically just paying for the reliability and quality..

As far as I know it is the right heat range and gap for our cars. Ive had the plugs in my car for the past 25K miles and had no problems. Gas mileage went up a few mpg. OEM is the way to go for every tune-up necessity.

I would recommend going with NGK Iridiums. I just finished putting those plugs in my SC.
