At first they will seem fine but we just opened up the gap on the tester plug to get the coil hot and work harder and when we did that, that's when it started to play up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that they are better than the ford brand.Alternatively COBRA also make them which allegedly put out 10 -15% more spark than factory (also around $150).

The success rate with aftermarket coils has (weapon-x etc) has been very low hence most people pay a little extra for genuine coils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
