Ignition coil APR or Duralast
I went to Autozone and purchased a set of Duralast Ignition coils for $300, swapped all 4 and the car idled as good as new. I don't know if the Duralast coils will last very long, but they do have a no questions asked lifetime warranty so I can just get them replaced everytime it goes out.
Pros: idled as good as new
Cons: longevity is unknown
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 108000 km
I’ve used Duralast coil on a bmw with no issue and lasted over 60k when I sold the car. It was identical to the Delphi coil.
Pros: lasted over 60k
Cons: identical to Delphi coil

Subaru
Mileage: 96560 km
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
I have the APR coil packs installed currently (about 5k mikes on them so far) and I gotta say... Just stick with OEM. There is no benefit...
Cons: no benefit
Mileage: 8047 km
I tried running them with the stock plugs awhile back and ended up with random misfires. Pulled them off and put the stock coils back on…no more misfires.
Pros: no more misfires
Cons: random misfires
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Please get rid of those APR Ignition Coils and RS7 Spark Plugs. You are most likely encountering the misfiring from those alone.
Cons: misfiring from APR coils
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'd recommend getting rid of those APR coils before tuning, they cause so many headaches
Cons: cause many headaches
I’m having similar jerking problems like when my plugs/coils went bad again and the mechanic suggests coils, especially if I don’t have “Honda brand” coils. How bad off are duralast coils? Autozone is switching out these ones now for free due their warranty but I know now if the car starts messing up again that I need a new brand. I drive A LOT, so I’m wondering how normal is it for duralast coils to go bad so fast? They were literally changed in the mid winter. I can imagine I drove about 10-15k miles before my car started having problems again
Cons: failed quickly, jerking problems
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 16093 km
DO NOT BUY APR COIL PACKS they are fun but life of It them are terrible stay stock!
Pros: fun
Cons: terrible life
