Talking Need help with spark plugs

Hi, i ve been thinking my spark plugs for a while now, car has 60K so its time to do it, but dealer wants $300 for parts and labor, that no go for just the spark plugs, i prolly get a NGK one step colder LFR7AIX since im stage 2, but according to the intructions it could be difficult to do (first time) so i was thinking is some one local that have done this before can help me. It can be done at my house or theirs, and we agree on some kind of compensation. BTW i have a 05 LGT, should be same as WRX or STI. Thank you

Problem is the car really needs to be cold to replace the plugs. You'll burn the crap out of yourself if not. HMM, let me see what my calendar looks like and I'll get back to ya.

I followed this write up and it was cake. The coils are a tight fit but its do able. Damn sure not worth $300 bucks.

How To: I installed my Denso Iridium (1 step colder) spark plugs today. DIY included!! - IWSTI.com: Subaru WRX STI Forums
