It dont matter just go to autozome and tell them your car and buy the cheapest ones. Spark plugs will not make your car faster I promise.

I'd get the Bosch Platinum +4s, only because when you cheap out on the plugs then your car is more prone to pre-detontation and knocking.

Besides they cost nearly the same amount as the regular ones.

good point. besides, even the best plugs are like 12 bucks a pop. except a dealership wants to charge you 250 to replace them all. "will you see sir it takes my tech about 3 hours to actually go in and do the work for the secound bank because there so hard to reach" bullshit

Go with performance NGK plugs and wires. U may also want to check distributor depending on what year you have. Our distributors were basic junk which is why later models went with distributorless ignitions.

I do not know about the S at all as that engine is totally different from the other packages Mazda sold. I beleve though with the 2.5 they changed by 98 but I can't I can find out though.

Spending more money on spark plugs doesnt make your car faster. If the recommended spark plugs at autozone cost $2 why spend $12. The only thing they do is fire the car. All he has is a K&N Filter anyway.
