$700 every 10k mi to replace spark plugs would be a deal breaker for me. I didn't realize this was the case with the Harrop kit. Very important info for anyone who is comparing SC kits.

Leave the spark plug plastic covers off and you can get to them without removing anything.
Takes under an hour at a casual pace.

Yep, with the ESS kit, changing spark plugs is no different than stock assuming you leave the covers off or trim them like Dean suggested.
