Where can I get the new coil packs @ 25 bux each ?
Same as title.
I checked with 3 of my local dealership, asked them about the coil price and some even quote me like 50 bucks each. I was like are you sure man, I thought that its 25 each.
and I forgot what was the New Coil part number? just want to be sure that they got the right newer one, they might give me a price on the old part , u know dealerships are dumb as hell.
Thx.

I want to swap some new parts in, its due for a spark plug change anyway so I'll just replace the coils with these enhance ones.

i have 65k miles on mine in fla.. no problems, but i dont sit in traffic..

what are some signs of crappy coils?
i know im due for some spark plugs, but if i knew when coils should be replaced, it might help me out a lot to replace them when im doing the plugs

You might, if you're lucky, get a blinking CEL after a high-rpm event or very cold start where there is some misfiring. Mine started with not being able to pull past 110 mph in 4th gear and eventuated itself in excessive misfiring on cold starts below 20 degrees ambient. Blinking CELs turned into a steady one.

I know how to get to the plugs but I was wondering...How hard are they to actually install? I.E. do you have to gap the plugs? Do you need a special tool due to limited space in the wheel well?
Also, when changing the coil packs. Anything special with removal...Any recommendations? When would we need to replace the plug wires...etc.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated as I hate putting my car in dealer hands.

you can get blinking/solid misfire CELs with good coils too, so that's not always the best indicator, the problem is that some coils still test good using the service manual procedure when they're not, I decided not to take any chances and dumped the original coils for the new replacement coils, like somebody else said before, they don't cost any more than spark plugs so just swap them both out at the same time 
plugs are a fine wire electrode design and come pre-gapped, just don't drop or hit them on the electrode surface and you'll be fine
pretty much basic hand tools and some patience to remove the coils and plugs, I have a 36" long extension that helps changing the plugs out from the wheel well
the OE plug wires are crap, dump them for a decent aftermarket wire set like 8.8 Magnecor, etc., you won't see any magic here it only eliminates a known weak spot

Great info Team! Thank you!
I am 27k right now and I think my coils are ok but my plugs are questionable. I say this cause when they did the recal they were "supposed" to replace the plugs for me but I have a feeling they took them out looked at them an put them right back in (i.e. same plugs). So I might just buy a whole new set and replace them myself.
Don't know yet...
