Default Spark Plug Help

Hey guys have a blk 02 ws6 Changing my plug wires to some 9mm wires with some ngk iridium tr55ix. Anyway the first four on driver side were easy to change. The other four on the passenger side, Not so easy. Got the first two (barely) and then theres the back two. From the top of the car to being underneath it I can not get to those last two. May sound stupid but, How the hell can I get to those back two wires!?

I found it easiest to get at the last couple on the passenger side (especially the last one) from under the car. Sure you have to jack it up or drive onto ramps, but you don't have to take anything off and you get a direct shot and a good angle to move a socket wrench around. Just make sure you don't get crap in your eyes.

Hmm... have you tried? I had SLP LT's a few years ago and was still able to get to the back one from the bottom more easily than from the top.
