The prices of parts from the dealer are sometimes really funny, they sell a single NGK or Bosch spark plug for somewhere around $35-$40

I found the EXACT same spark plug at Canadian Tire from NGK with the same part number for $13 for a pair and changed all 8 by my self in about an hour, the 2 plugs closest to the fire wall are sometimes a bitch to get to unless you use elbow joints..
As far as coils, were pretty much screwed on those because i would only trust the ones i get from the dealer because there are a lot of fake ones on the internet, i dont remember the price on them but there literally a 15 minute job to replace your self. The only tool you need is a torx bit to take off the engine cover and the brackets that hold the coils down.
If you have a high milage n62 that needs head work done (levers or eccentric/cam shafts) i highly suggest you just buy a low milage used head and just replace the whole damn thing.. Of course you should probably replace any gaskets and valves while your in there (the major things i remember replacing were the valve cover gasket, the CCV's and spark plug tubes)
