Default spark plugs

im going to fit a new set of plugs after the holliday and was wondering if it was easier from above or below(on a ramp) iv had a quick look and it looks like i can get at the n/s by taking the battery tray out. and the airbox out on the o/s although it looks a little tight im going to have a go (was quoted £100 from a local reputable subaru dealer labour only) allso what plugs are recomended (99 uk car) thanks and merry chrimbo

do them from the top, remove airbox and move washer bottle. no need to take battery off! up to you tho! Done mine the other day took an hour. I used a 7's on my95 jdm but i think if its a standard uk, use 6's!

Struv,

Unless modified, I'd stick with 6's

Give Alyn at AS Performance a call 01914103770
