Reviews, anyone used the coils on ebay for a GTE swap?
Im in the market for new coils for the 1JZ and wanted to know if any of ya'll used these coils before? The OE and DM runs about $85 each, these guys state that these fit the GTEs and run about $50 shipped. Anyone has any experience with these? These a good alternative?

Just buy the OEM ones and be done with it, even DM one i don't think they are 100% OEM.

the superspark coils are a good alternative, and they are cheaper than stock. I have a set on my daily driven 1JZ swap and have had no issues whatsoever. I run my plugs at .032 gap with no spark blowout at 18psi.
