[s-cars] Spark Plugs

[Robert Rossato]

I don't believe anyone has found a replacement for the OEM plugs (Bosch F5DP0R, or something like that) that works, though somebody will prove me wrong and state that they've been running $1.99 AC Delco plugs with no problems.

So, if the ECS kit includes the OEM plugs it's a pretty good deal.  You're essentially paying $60 more to add plugs, air filter, gas filter, and cabin filter.  The best prices I've seen for the OEM plugs alone are in the $50-$60 range.  A cabin filter is probably $15-$18.  Air filters are $8.  Haven't priced a fuel filter but that's got to be $15 or thereabouts.  So sounds like a good deal.  

BTW, the cabin filter is only useable on the S6 to the best of my knowledge.
