they have all kind of qualities. I thought till recently they only sell the cheap stuff, but I found now their online shop (not the Ebay one) and they even have Meyle and Behr etc.

for 129 and a supposed lifetime warranty i'll try them once. The equipment on my car is between 18 and 14 years old, and I need to do a freshening. Will report back. Even if i need to do a warranty swap, i still have at least 10 good coils in a box.

I checked with Rockauto.com and they have coils for $52 to $64 each. I put in 1993 525i.
$30 each at FCP? Damn!

+1 on the crappy parts!
and another thing...they might have a lifetime warranty but check out how long it will take to get your parts? will you have to pay for shipping? how long will be the labor to change them out...
it all adds up...
i dont know about you guys but for me id rather pay a little more now than a lot later...
my 2 cents

I certainly understand your sentiments, guys. I've had to shiatcan a thrust arm from them before. If it didn't take me no more than 7 minutes tops to change all 6 coils (and I didn't have a box of nominally working coils on standby) I wouldn't wander down this road. I might have to pay for return shipping, but if I can change em out every 25kmiles or so, when they invariably develop hairline cracks, at least twice, i'll eat the inconvenience.
FCP sent me an e-mail recently offering $20 off sales over $175, valid until 1/31.
