Got the NGKs - oem from dealership, they are 18 bucks x 8 - 145 + tax, with no install!! (diy myself)

But I found the densos (which are also oem) for 8 bucks each, which is huge discount.

I got the NGK's from ebay for $7 each including shipping. Just another option. I have not installed them yet. I couldn't believe the listed price . I have another 30 000 km before I change them.

Were the plug wire boots petrified to the plugs, or is it coil-on-plug? I am at 90K miles and should be doing this also.

Coil on plug.

FWIW, I ran into a similar problem with the NGK OEM plugs in my VW. The dealer was charging $25 a piece (only 4 though). But I found them at Advance Auto Parts (special order) for $10. They have the HCH listed OEM plug NGK IFR5G-11K for $9.98. Not sure how wide spread AAP are.

Also, my car is a 2000 and by 2005 the dealer price finally came down to $10. Hopefully, the same will occur for the HCH, since these aren't commonly stocked parts.
