You know what would be cheaper than coils? Closing the plug gap. 

 

A small adjustment to say 0.8 would probably keep the issue at bay for many more thousands of kms.

 

It can't hurt to try before shelling out for coils.

 

I'd try that first being a puffwagon and all.

Thanks for all the replies guys. 

 

I work at a automotive shop and cen get set of delphis under $100 but if everyone really thinks genuine are the only way to go might just bite the bullet. 

 

With the plug gap whats the go? 

Thought you only changed the gap once modified.. 

 

Thanks again everyone

1.1 is standard and good for around 10psi 

0.9mm is good for around 17psi

0.8mm is good for around 20 psi   

 0.7mm is good for 25psi

The reason you close the plug gap is so the spark wont blow out.

0.7 are std ford gas plugs. Better to install new plugs rather than regap.  Easy to damage the center electrode if you arnt real careful

I'll stick to gapping my plugs unless new ones are needed then sure get smaller gapped ones. It's better for me not to waste a set of plugs.

 

Each to his own though ay :)
