I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.
Pros: good reliability, good performance
I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.
Pros: purred like a kitten
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
You can also spring for the MSD coil, about twice as much but the boots are attached better I think, where the OEM part might have the boots rip off or the springs get caught up.
Pros: boots attached better
Cons: twice as much
I changed all 6 coils on mine for those last year and they've worked without any issues.
Pros: worked without issues
So I replaced the coils with MSD packs, and tossed in fresh plugs, even though the old ones were less than 10k miles in. This seemed to fix the issue for a while, but it ended up coming back.
Pros: seemed to fix issue
Cons: issue ended up coming back
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 10000 km
Replaced the plugs and coils with Hitachis from Rock Auto for about $40 a piece. The Hitachis turned out to be dog \ud83d\udca9 and every one blew within about a year (the first one went bad in about a month).
Cons: blew within a year
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 75000 km
