I wouldn't ..splitfires cost $600 and if you're certain your coils are failing, get the real thing, not cheap chinese copies.

You may find they may not work on a series 2, due to the ignitor set up being different to series 1. I'd go factory replacements or split fires.

Now, that was always the case previously, when you only had a choice between OEM and splitfire. Now there are quite a few different suppliers of ignition coils, and I am hearing of a few failures of splitfires lately, same as any other product. I have been looking around as my stockers are definately stuffed and in need of replacement.

Personally I think I will be taking a punt on a different, cheaper, brand. As long as there is warranty and from a known supplier that is willing to back the product I can't see any difference. I have yet to see any evidence of one brand being better than another, other than those rubbish tests where they compare new coils of whatever brand against 15-20yr old stockers. I also can't be arsed paying top dollar just for something that does the same job but has the brand name tax.

Leaning towards the coils from performance-wise myself, but they don't have s2 coils yet I don't think.

Here might be a solution for your car..-> http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1 just another option.
