If you do replace a coil, go with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. Cheap coils cause new problems. The Hitachi coils on RockAuto are probably alright.
I got the coil conversion kit from import car parts and GD 2.0l coils. The new age coils needed to be trimmed a little from the edges to fit. I bought hitachi coils instead of oem diamond ones and saved a lot of money. They work perfectly.
Next time I'd just get the proper Hitachi coils and Denso/Ngk plugs. They don't even cost much more. The Fit is pretty sensitive about using proper plugs/coils.
I bought the same Hitachi coils that were in my Nissan Pathfinder, along with new NGK plugs and everything has been kosher since. Fixed the stuttering issue I was having.
Ive had zero problems with Hitachi coils.
The Audi r8 ones are good tho, for a tuned vw
I used R8 performance coils in my mk6 golf R. Have been excellent.
But once you get the R8 coils they lasted for a very long time.
I have used the R8 red top coils. I went back to stock coils after noticing a slight low speed low rpm hesitation. No misfire codes but it just didn’t run the same. It ran great when winding it out but I don’t do that all the time.
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).
