They look good. But the engine is smoother after and no hiccups at 3200rpm. $100 for labor, not bad

Its not placebo
Think about it 35K miles on a set of spark plugs will have some wear on it no matter what. Why would Porsche say 40K change Was it needed? Probably not Do I feel the car is SLIGHTLY better after, YES. Less vibration in idle too. Is it worth couple <$200 every 35K to change them, absolutely (NOT DEALER PRICES) |
$100 labor is a great price! TJ special?

Last time I asked, the tech said they change them at 40K mostly to prevent them from sticking to the case. Plugs themselves can do much more... But hey, even if it's placebo, it was a cheap job and a happy owner, no harm done ! I need to do this myself based on time, not mileage (only 15K but 4 years old). I hope to do it myself...

I just replaced mine myself and found that I had to remove the brackets holding the side mufflers in place in order to make some extra room for the rearmost plugs. I also removed the bracket holding some kind of leveling sensor to get to the forward plug on the driver's side.

None of that is necessary. Just get a universal joint and a few extensions.

Speaking of plugs.
I love how they sell 2 plugs. Both the same model number but one probably comes in a Porsche box. $7 vs $20 each. http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/..._pg1.htm#item0 |
