I've used DENSO iridium plugs on my import classic, which retails for around £60 a set, and they were crap, didn't last long at all, so now am using NGK platinums, which a lot of people recommend on the technical threads.
I think they cost me around £25 a set, and they were off the shelf too! so if they tell you it's a special order, it's crap.
Let me know and I'll get you some (trade price)

that's ok mate, no need, we should have pretty much the same engine - EJ20GN, it's not an auto is it? that could affect the price of a starter motor
