walk up to the guy behind the counter and say "i need 4 sparkplugs for a mazda rx7 [insert year], 2 leading 2 trailing." They will then tell you what sparkplugs they have for that model/year of car. Choose from those.

leading are the spark plugs towards the bottom of the car, and trailing are the ones on top.

They come all together in a box from the dealer, with a picture of where they go even.
