Are non-OEM coilpacks any good?

[CheeseHelmet]

It seems OEM coilpacks are almost $100, yet at auto parts stores I keep seeing non-OEM brand ones for around $25 (eg. Autozone sells a "Duralast" coilpack for $27). My question is, what do you guys use? And more importantly, are these cheap coilpacks any good?

I stick to OEM parts as much as I can.

Most aftermarket parts do not last as long as OEM parts in my experience.

I just bought 2 duralast coils from autozone for my turbo build. We'll see how well they hold up...

I noticed that both of you guys are located in warmer climates, can anybody comment on how well these things work in the winter?

Yep just dont buy then from NAPA.... I went through 3 sets under warranty thankfully before i went to autozone and haven't had a problem.

If they're a quarter of the price, just buy two sets. You save money, and if one goes out, you immediately have a replacement handy.

Duralast coilpacks here. One year and a quite bad (for Ohio) winter with absolutely no problems at all. I highly recommend them.

I just put on BWD's. I guess that's the OEM. Advance Auto has em for $40. They were also briefly on Checker's website for $25 but I waited too long and they back to $80. Just google the BWD part# E427.
