Potential E-bay horror story.

This add is misleading. Evo 8 and Evo 9 spark plugs are NOT the same and they are NOT interchangable. No NOT buy spark plugs off E-gay. This is just a heads up for everyone, I dont want to see someone get screwed, and their car get screwed up.

Who buys spark plugs from ebay???
But anyway, you tell them which ones you need (8 or 9) and they will send you the correct ones.
So no need to freak out.

It does say please specify year and model but they could have added that after the fact. Did you contact them? It is cheaper on ebay to make one page for sale and have you specify after.

sorry to hear about that, plus its ebay, you gotta do your research before ever buying on there. They are not expecting you to know, they just want your money.

I understand it says you must specify but the plugs that are one step colder for the IX are like $200.

Purchasing items on ebay can be tricky and misleading.I would just pay a bit more and order the parts from a well known company.
