Default Has anyone used these coil packs (engine) or know anything about them

http://ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php...duct_list&c=93

Was wondering if these are worth it or should I stick with oem.
I have two that are starting to go they keep giving me a fault code, figure I might as well replace all four. Havent checked on prices for oem yet. Does anyone know if they are comparible price wise? Where can I get oem other than delear?

Very, very pricey.
I've heard the latest version can be had for about $24 each at a local VW parts dept.

I read about those coil packs before they came out a while back suposed to be twice the initial spark and four times the secondary spark

Yikes. $500.00 + for a set seems a bit much. I'd stick to the latest OEM myself.

There is a recall on some ignition coils. Check with your dealer.

What advantages could a $415 difference possibly account for?

Thanks for all the info. I didnt know there was that much of a price difference. I will be going with oem and put the extra 300 clams toward a chip.
