Replacing coils and wires
 
Hi,

I did my plugs around a month ago.

I am thinking f replacing my coils. While I am at it I thought I would replace my plug wires also.

I saw the DIY on the coils, seems very straight forward even for my lack of skills :) .

My question is on the parts...

I see OEM are around $30 from stealership.
I see E-Bay auctions going for around $30 a piece plus shipping.
I also see racing beat has them for $45 plus shipping.

Same price variations on the plug wires. RB=$100, EOM (going from memory)=$30.

Now I use this as a daily driver, no track or autoexe.

Question, am I really going to see a return/payoff for using higher end parts or am I wasting money?

Also my car is an......auto so redline is only 7K instead of 9K. I think this will make a difference in the answer.

Thank you,

Brian

Examples:

$99 set of wires (Non OEM):

OEM $59 wires:

OEM coil $26.95 :

Racing beat coils (Non OEM) $44.75 :
Rx8 Ignition Coil
RX8M1018 FLP Rx8 Ignition Coil Factory Replacement - Sold as Each
$44.75

So I am thinking going OEM but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I know the non OEM are a better part but for daily driving 7K redline is it worth the difference in price and the part?

Thank you,

Brian
