First time changing spark plugs - questions (15' 8V S3)

First time changing my spark plugs at 70k miles - car is stock

Anyone know what the OEM part number is? Seems to be a few different ones listed on Audi's parts website.

See a lot of posts about running RS7 plugs but also seeing that if the car is stock theres no need; are there any plugs that would work for stage 2 and stock configuration? Will probably go stage 2 at some point, but no idea when.

Need to gap or good to go out from the box?

There a need to change coilpacks? Still running original ones.

5/8 spark plug tool is the correct socket size right?

TIA

Rs7 sparkplugs sucks. They failed. The ground electrode will snap and go into your engine. Ask me how I know they do. Definitely stay away from Rs7 ones.

Any reason these over the Laser Platinum Spark Plugs?

They're cheaper and work fine.
I'm on a stage 2 running E85 no issues.

Laser platinum are OE, that can be changed at OE intervals, the 95125 ones are an "upgrade" with a shorter change interval

What's the change interval for 95125? Looking at the Rock Auto page it seems its "suppose to last longer" than the OE?

If your not stage 2 now...dont put in stage 2 plugs. Get the OE plugs from RockAuto cause they sell them for the lowest price around.

Once you go stage two...switch plugs.

Changing spark plugs is simple
