I'm actually not sure what tool would be best. Mine were gapped by a friend that works at a dealership.

I would guess that he probably used something like this:

I tried using a cheap gapping tool, but the plug was too strong for it. The tool just bent before the anode would budge..

The tool is used to set the gap of the plug. You use a regular spark plug wrench or socket to actually install them.

Ummm ... I think there was a miscommunication somewhere. Unless you drive your S2000 very short distances in cold weather, where it won't reach normal operating temperatures, then you would NEVER need HOTTER plugs than stock. Since you live in a hot climate, you are likely to need COLD plugs.

The advantage of the Greddy eManage is that it is much cheaper, and probably easier to install. However, the most important thing is that you find a tuner BEFORE you order it. You need a tuner that is experienced with the platform you choose.

A lot of information you are asking about. Has been covered. Do some searching on the forums and you will find what you need.
