Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have 2,000 miles to go until mine need to be done, so this is good timing. :dance:

Did you notice any performance or driving difference with the new fresh plugs?

Just completed plug change.Replaced all the plug tube o rings as well.
Worth doing this too while you have everything apart.

Just did my plugs last night. removed Beru plugs and put in Bosch from Pelican parts. made a signifigant difference while idling and (maybe it's wishful thinking) new boost in pwer and responsiveness. I bought my 2002 S used and without service records.
So far I've done oil change, Belt change, air and cabin filter, now plugs. This car is easier to work on than my Lexus!!!!

I'm going to attempt the DIY instructions next weekend but I can't figure out what the right spark plugs are. The bosch website doesn't show the spark plugs for my boxster and pelican shows them, but not with the plug model number. I want to just go to Autozone or something to get my plugs but I want to make sure they're the right ones. Any thoughts on what the right Bosch plugs are?

Thanks.
