    Default A question for you...

    Are you having ignition related problems now??? My guess would be that unless you've heavily modded your engine, a hotter spark really won't accomplish anything. As long as their is a spark in the cylinder to ignite the air/fuel mixture, that's all you need. I'd look elsewhere to spend the money.

    You'd feel better if you spent it on colorful wiring sleeves instead Then stick an ///M sticker on each boot.

    if your coils are still the original ones, then you will feel the difference regardless if you get stock or BAV coils.

    HOWEVER... they are much less expensive than the OE coils, and because of the modified output will not last as long.

    that being said, i will get them when i get new injectors.

    So the OEM Bosch which i can get for a little over $450 for the 8 would last longer and performance wise not really leave anything on the table when compared to the BAV Performance set costing very nearly as much?Or do the BAV performance coils in fact allow for some added pep?

    Do we need to replace the coils periodically like oxy sensor? every 100k miles?
    The reason i ask is because my car never starts right up. When I turn the ignition, it sounds like cha..cha..cha..cha...wroom. I replaced the spark plugs and still the same. New coils?
