Hey everyone, im looking to buy new coils for my 2005 Rx-8 . I wanna buy aftermarket, and i need good ones so i can depend on them for a while. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand/type i should look into?


Thanks, Chris

 

I'm new here but I've noticed that a pretty enforced rule is to search before you post a thread asking a question. when i say "enforced" i mean no one will respond with an answer.

do some searching around the forum. im sure there's an answer *cough cough* BHR *cough cough*

 

Basically down to 3 choices:

1. Life time warranty OE coils from auto store: $100+. You'll need to swap out each 20k miles or so, but since it's life time warranty, just bring in the old ones and get new ones. Cheapest option.

2. BHR D585 Truck Coil:$500, pay once and last pretty long before you need to swap out.

3. Direct plasma Coils: $700. Pretty affective, but also expensive. If I ever win lottery, i'll definitely buy full trunk of these. lol

 

4. OEM revision C coils from dealer or Mazmart: $250ish. Presumably lasts longer than the original coils, though there is zero conclusive evidence to prove this to be accurate.

 

When I first bought my 06 it was missing a little so I replaced all.4 plugs , wires, and coil paks. NGK on wires and plugs. Napa echlin on the coil packs. I think their were around 40.00.apiece. everything worked fine and are still going strong 10k later.

 

what type of plugs will work with D585 ls2 coils anyone

OEM plugs are always the best. Buy them from forum vendors, Amazon, or your local auto parts store, about $20 each, $80 for all 4.

 

Rock auto is like $16 a plug and NGK wires were around $25.
