Replacing coils and wires
Hi,
I did my plugs around a month ago.
I am thinking f replacing my coils. While I am at it I thought I would replace my plug wires also.
I saw the DIY on the coils, seems very straight forward even for my lack of skills .
My question is on the parts...
I see OEM are around $30 from stealership.
I see E-Bay auctions going for around $30 a piece plus shipping.
I also see racing beat has them for $45 plus shipping.
Same price variations on the plug wires. RB=$100, EOM (going from memory)=$30.
Now I use this as a daily driver, no track or autoexe.
Question, am I really going to see a return/payoff for using higher end parts or am I wasting money?
Also my car is an......auto so redline is only 7K instead of 9K. I think this will make a difference in the answer.
Thank you,
Brian

$99 set of wires (Non OEM):

OEM $59 wires:

OEM coil $26.95 :

Racing beat coils (Non OEM) $44.75 :
Rx8 Ignition Coil
RX8M1018 FLP Rx8 Ignition Coil Factory Replacement - Sold as Each
$44.75
So I am thinking going OEM but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I know the non OEM are a better part but for daily driving 7K redline is it worth the difference in price and the part?
Thank you,
Brian
