The replys I've found as I ask around, are that the local Knecht's Auto
store can order them in, but by the time they're ordered and then marked up,
he wants about $6 each.  I imagine most of your local Audi/Porsche 3rd party
mechanics would probably sell you a set, or at least order them at a lower
cost than the auto parts stores.  And if all else fails I know they can be
mail ordered.  The only difference in the part numbers, is that there is a
"T" (probably for triple) added somewhere (and I can't remember where) in
the number.  The extra $2 per plug will probably be a good tipoff too.

Good hunting/shopping
