I think there's something more going on, I have a hard time believing that many coils are failing on their own. Maybe a bad grounding issue? Are there any other electrical issues? How are you making sure the coils have actually gone bad? One way to check is to swap the coils around and see if the failure follows it.
These type of coils are certainly not a regular "disposable" part like spark plugs that you normally just throw away after a certain amount of mileage. Going through 8 coils in a short amount of time is very suspect.
Also, I would echo the sentiment that if money is really tight, go get some replacements at a salvage yard rather than aftermarket. This is one of those cases where OEM is really better. Sewell is a good online dealer where you can get factory parts for substantially less.

i wonder if tight valves; dirty fuel injectors; or something else is causing the spark plug and engine coil failure????!
