I've been running the NGK since I'm pretty sure they are the OE manufacturer. Subaru is charging crack prices for those coils.
I would get NGK, Denso or Motorcraft coils though, you don't want to cheap out on critical parts like this.
I have NGK coils and plugs on my B14NEH. No issues at all.
Get a Denso or NGK coil. You can try an auto parts store coil (do NOT get one from Amazon) and if it solves it, order the Denso or NGK.
i have huco coils on b207r, almost 4 years, they work fine
I installed ngk coils originally and they lasted the longest ( around 8k miles before the first one went ).
NGKs product quality has diminished but a brand new set of 6 in and 2 of the six aren't working after about 2 months
NGK gave me troubles on one of our old LR3s
I just bought my son three coil on plug ignition coils with the NGK box but country of origin, China. I'm not happy with any Chinese crap.
Avoid Amazon if possible. I got fake NGK ignition coils once. I wouldn\u2019t order any part that is easily counterfeited off Amazon. Also got crush washers that were supposedly OEM spec, but they were made with the flimsiest piece of shit ever. I could bend them between my fingers.
