Ignition coil APR or Bremi
My tuned 17' R has had RS7 plugs and APR coils for awhile without issue, but I'm ready for a new set.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have 75K on my CC Sport with APR Stage1+ Tune. I recently changed my plugs and put APR coils in not sure if got any real power but the car feels so much better. At $27 a coil why not use APR?
Pros: car feels so much better
Cons: not sure if got power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km
FWIW, I got an APR Stage 1+ tune on my '13 CC at about 30k miles. Blew one of the stock coils within a month. Replaced with red tops and new plugs and have been good since then (19k miles).
Pros: good since then
Cons: blew stock coils
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 30000 km
I'd replace the FPR with a 3BAR since they are cheap and easy to replace and considering your mods. New coolant temp sensors for the same reasons as well even though you state they are ok. Coil could be an issue, no real need to upgrade the factory ones but a new one could resolve the problem (Bremi coils are using STI [brand not car] windings in the units).
Pros: cheap and easy to replace
Just installed the new coil and the car runs great. Very pleased with the results.
Pros: car runs great, very pleased

APR coils lasted almost a year (5/6000 miles) when I pushed it and let go of the pedal. CEL would flash and random cylinders misfire.
Cons: short lifespan, misfires, CEL flashes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 6000 km
As stated APR coils are know to not be as good as OE/OEM. I have seen a lot of people with APR coils chasing misfires and the replace with OEM and it’s fixed. Even with new APR this has happened.
Cons: chasing misfires
Options like APR's and RS3 coils offer very little if at all over factory other than looking pretty.
Pros: looking pretty
Cons: very little benefit
