Ok I ordered the Bosch plugs from http://www.europeanautomotive.com/. The F8DPP332 plugs are $8.50 from here. I also got a Mann air filter for $12. I picked up a plug wire pliers from autozone for $9 and some anti-seize for $2. I'll let you know how it goes once I get the parts in the mail.

Ok, I'm all done. Removing and installing the plugs was a breeze. Even though a few were in a tight and akward spot, if you have the right tools this won't be a problem.
The most difficult part by far was removing the plug wires. Even with a cheap plug wire removing pliers, this part was a nightmare. The plug wire pliers and my body took a beating.

Thanks for everyones help.

Thanks for letting us know we helped. Think of the money you saved? And you now know more about your car. How does it run?

When I let it warm up, it was idling at about 500rpm. And at highway speeds it does seem more zippy. At 75k miles, the original plugs looked worn and the threads were rusted.

By the way if anyone wants to get these plugs, go to autopartswarehouse.com. Europeanautomotive is having software problems, that's why it took so long for me to get the parts.
