BHR Ignition install.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how uniform the actual bracket was. Everything looks very smooth and well designed. The coils are beefy, and when I saw the space I had to get the ignition into I was somewhat worried. Once you get all of the old coils out of the way though, you do really free up quite a bit of space.
The most difficult part of the install to me was getting the base plate in the correct spot. After wrestling with it for some time, I finally got it in place and it sank right down and nestled perfectly on the plate. The instructions make note about the next part needing "finesse," and that is why CRH earns the Understatement of the Year award. I called and spoke with him about my options after losing one of the nuts and he was most helpful. He also was rather particular to point out that Easy was responsible for the base plate and talked about his "bending" abilities.
Overall, the install went rather smoothly but it took some time and patience.
The idle is a lot smoother and the car seems a bit more responsive. The misses and stumbling have been completely taken care of, but I have yet to test the fuel economy.
Overall, I am pleased with the BHR Ignition and would totally recommend it.

Cool we did grungepups' on Sunday. His Butt dyno says his power is back. I know the white spots on the coils are not a definite sign they are shot but Grungepups each had huge spots on them and they were only 20,000 miles old.

Yeah, mine had the spots as well. CRH told me that they weren't "confirmed" to be anything significant yet. My "new" (2006) 8 only had 10,500 original miles on it when I bought it at the beginning of the summer from the couple that owned it. (Two older gentlemen that babied it, and even knew to rev it up before shut down and how to blow the carbon out daily.) When I replaced the coils on Saturday, the car had 14,800 and had the white marks clearly visible. I'm convinced the factory coils are poo, and a lowest bidder scenario.
