So I fried one coil back in december and replaced it and carried a spare. Today, I got my APR software installed, and was testing it out around town later tha t day and fried another one. Thank god I had a replacement. Anyone think aftermarket coils are good, and if so any brands? Or do I just keep replacing with OEM coils? Thanks

 

hitachi e coils are pretty popular. should have them on ecstuning.com

 

Anyone ever used or known anyone to use those Okida Plasma Coils? Not sure if thats even the name for them but Ive seen them on Ecodetuning...Just wondering if they were worth the money.

 

I would think just about anything is better than the originals....

 

This may be a stupid question but what are the coils? I've seen several mention of replacing coil packs but I don't know what they are. Is it a 1.8 thing or does the 3.0 have them too?

 

I got a set of Hitachi coils from ECStuning and haven't had any problems with them yet {'knock on wood'}

 

Only problem with those is that I dont have the holes for the bolts, so that style doesnt work for mine.

 

hiatchi e here also. no problems.

 

Sounds like that is the way to go. Thanks folks

 

3.0L coils are just as crappy as the 1.8T coils. Except these tend to break when you wash your motor, or when changing spark plugs.
