Why? Is a good product that thousands of people paid full price for and have no complaints not a good enough deal for you? Why don't you ask him how to build his coils and just the harness so you can save some cash and build them yourself.

my point was how many people come asking for handouts and discounts. Why? why should CRH just cut one dude some slack? cause he asked nicely? He is making a living. People bug vendors everyday on how to DIY on their stuff instead of buying it

Well, you can't really ask and expect to always get it free-of-charge, even with all the hoopla during the Black Friday it seems far-fetched that your request will probably happen. But thanks for asking on behalf of most members in this forum.

AEM smart coils are superior to both those coils. Only downside is you need to change your plug wires. But you can get a DIY kit for like $80 from MSD for a V8 so you end up with 2 pairs of wires.

You can get coils AND 2 pairs of DIY ignition wires for $370 retail. Wiring is fairly easy and so is mounting using local hardware pieces. The LS2 truck coil is definitely inferior. Will it matter on an N/A? obviously not. Will it matter if you want to push a lot of boost? definitely yet.
Not trying to hit on your product. Its definitely a good easy bolt-on solution. However, like anything there are always better options.

Your D-585 coil is referred to as LS2 truck coils by most of the aftermarket community. The D-585 auto-discharges and starts to misfire before IGN-1A coils. Therefore inferior coil, quite simple.
Again, not downplaying your product which you seem quite defensive about. It works fine for most applications here. But the AEM coil is superior.

When one considers the total expense of a DIY kit using the AEM/Mercury coils, and the fact that fitment is not so swell, the BHR Ignition System is the all-around best choice. That is in addition to the as of yet unproven claim of electrical performance being "superior" with the AEM/Mercury coils.
If I truly believed the AEM coils were all that and a bag of chips, I would have made the switch and redesigned my ignition system from top to bottom.

BHR does not use "LS-2" coils. The superior "D-585" coil is used but I am not surprised by your failing to understand the difference. Where, and by whom, has it been demonstrated that the Mercury/AEM "Smart Coil" emits more voltage/current and that it's alleged performance is worthy to pursue, given all the variables?
I need your old fucntioning stock coils
Now again, the basis of the entire discussion was the fact that the S2 owners cannot toy with dwell settings, and the ign-1a coils have a better oem dwell.
I do plan on ordering a set of these coils and actually giving them a shot for myself and seeing how a few months compare to running D585's. Unfortunately there is too much mud slinging on these forums and not nearly as much qualitative data as one would like.

2) The Mercury coils are larger than the 585s, so fitment in the OEM location will be a tough challenge at best, and my customers seem to appreciate not needing to relocate their coils to make an upgrade.
3) In looking at the stated specs on the Merc/AEM coils I am not sure their output will actually be much different than the 585s. Plus, their 40% max duty cycle has me concerned.
4) How much more current than 120 mA and more voltage than 48K-plus does any RX-8 need?
When the AEM/Merc coils were first presented by TeamRX8 I bought one, examined it, and thought long about using them in the BHR Ignition System. Given that my concerns are vastly different than the typical DIY type, I decided to stay with the 585s. Hopefully, the Merc coils will perform well enough for those who wish to use them.
