Ignition suggestions

Ill be doing my coils along with the wires. (already did spark plugs). I dont know how old they are so i figure id change them. The question i have is im not sure if i should go with the bhr upgrade ignition or stay with stock. Id like to get 30k out of the coils and i recently saw this product that might help. Im not going to link the product because i know hes a banned vendor but heres a pic and a description below......I dont know if its a waste of money/scam

If you want to achieve maximum engine performance and extend the life of your RX-8 ignition system, our new and improved ignition coil bracket is an excellent place to start!
The RX-8 ignition system has long proven to be a weak point of the platform. Unfortunately coil failure and the related misfires don't just make the car run poorly and foul out spark plugs, it can actually destroy the expensive catalytic convertor and/or lead to serious engine damage.
Our New Ignition Coil Bracket is designed as a direct replacement for the Mazda factory bracket. Made of aluminum, It is very lightweight and designed to eliminate the flat metal area under the ignition coil which has proven to have many positive benefits such as:
  • The ignition coil's operating temperature becomes significantly reduced
  • The coils ability to misfire to the mounting bracket through the bottom is eliminated
  • A moisture collection area is also removed! (which further decrease chances of coil misfire)

These benefits are an excellent way to extend coil life and improve engine performance by ensuring consistent and efficient spark plug firing.
Even better, you can achieve these improvements without the high cost of aftermarket ignition kits.

Features:

  • Extends coil life
  • Reduces chances of engine misfires
  • Is a direct replacement for the Mazda factory bracket
  • Made from high quality 5052 aluminum material.
  • Our bracket is half a pound lighter than the factory steel bracket
  • Maintains factory wiring harness mounting locations
  • Easy to install (plug and play)
FYI its $80.00 for the bracket
