Went to Autozone yesterday. NGK CR8EIX not in stock, and they 'can't order them'.
No Advance Auto in Arizona either. Looks like sparkplugs.com for me.
That's what they told me (Auto Zone) when I went there this weekend. Very strange that something so more-or-less generic should be so hard to get. Sparkplugs.com it is.
Sparkplugs.com group buy? LOL (Can't possibly save enough money to make it worth it.)

EDIT
OK, so I spoke too soon. They have a spot on the order form for a coupon code and the SVT Forums have regular references to 10% iridium plug coupon code discounts. They also have a link to wholesale discounts for purchases of 100 or more plugs. I shot them a note and we'll see what they come back to me with. I'll post the results here.
Also, regarding a thread seen elsewhere on whether or not to gap iridium plugs, sparkplugs.com has this:
Should I gap my Iridium Plugs?
The manufacturers say NO.
This is because most people do not know how to properly gap a spark plug, and the center electrodes on the ultra-fine iridium can easily snap if mishandled. There is no warranty for snapped center electrodes. The manufacturers say an iridium spark plug will run so much better than a traditional plug, even if it is not gapped for that motor, that they would prefer you just leave it rather than risk snapping the center electrode.
Personally, we at Sparkplugs.com, gap our iridium plugs for our own vehicles (we’re rebels). If you insist on gapping your iridium plug, please refer to Proper Gapping for instruction.
If one opts to rebel and gap an iridium, do you gap it to the factory FJR1300 spec?
