Stage 4 Plug Change Interval?

How often are you guys having to change plugs? I have 13k on my car and think the plugs might be bad. At about $1,500 for new plugs this isn't a minor ussue. What are you guys seeing? How many hours does Porsche charge? Which plug should I use?

I think I only paid about $700 for my plug change. Had to go to heat range 6 after ECU upgrade.

My plugs were bad after 17K in my stage one. It cost $500 to get them changed at the dealer.
