Seach on eBay from time to time for the exact NGK model number you need. There are some people who sell sets of six or eight for great prices.

I lucked out when I got my set. I won an auction for a set of 6 NGK platinums for less than $40. After I received them, the guy accidentally sent me another 7. I emailed him, but he never responded, so in the end I got that bunch free for me to use next time.

Peace.

I choose copper over platinum becaues it has better conductivity than that of the plat. The downside is its shorter life and it needs to be regapp'ed every 20k miles. Since I dont mind replacing them, I rather to save a few bucks.
