The only thing I have are the R8 coils, other than that stock everything. The car drives mint
The Audi bolt-down ones are good. I replaced the push-down coils that had a failure about every year or two with the bolt-downs just a week or so befor VW announced the recall. Zero, zero, zero problems ever since.
I pulled all the coils out and one of them was rusted to shit. As I mentioned, I didn't want to pay $460 to get them from MINI, so the parts store supplied me with Bosch coils and they worked well. I ripped the car through the business district I work in ala Grand Tour; all the stuttering problems, hiccups are gone and the car feels way more powerful than before.

Be sure to use a genuine Bosch from a reputable source, or OE from the dealer. DO NOT use a Chinese one from a big-box auto parts store.
Make sure the new coil is a good Bosch, Beru, or OE unit, not parts-store brand junk. I've seen plenty of bad coils out of the box.
So far I've replaced all ignition coils (1 died while I was test driving the car, the other 2 years after in the winter, of course). I decided to replace them all with non-faulty Audi parts instead of doing it every year.
The R8 coils are cheaper then the standard Bosch coils so cheaper if nothing else.
Many aftermarket coils are completely out of spec and do not work well, some can even destroy the ECU. OE, Bosch, Temic are all good, I believe Beru is an OE manufacturer as well.
Just replaced my coils. AVOID Bosch. Literal trash that does not even work.
