autozone, wal-mart, carquest, advanced auto, o-reily's....
and you gap them yourself, get a gapping tool. it looks like a quarter and has a slight raise around it to gap to dif sizes. Just ask the person up front.

no they don't, they are gapped for Nissans and and subaru's i think? but the regap tool is really simple to use, you put it between the electrode and the spark plug and gently tap the end until it is snugly on the feeler gauge at the desired distance.... in this case 0.28" for running with a Chip or remap.

i'll hopefully be doing this this afternoon too along with my modshack intake woohoo

iirc the -11 refers to the way it is gapped, it is different to the normal BKR7E but only in that it comes pre-gapped for a different application, Honda's i think... but as you are re-gapping them anyway it makes no difference what the starting gap is... just get the best price.

Theres a few threads regarding spark plugs on here that you can try and search... the short of it is that the Denso only allow you to keep them in longer, they don't perform any better, also the general consensus is that the Copper cored electrode plugs at the best at dissipating heat and thus are better at preventing premature detonation....

So the NGK's offer the best compromise with regards to price, durability, and performance...
