Had Alex pop some red coil packs in along with some ngk plugs when he loaded the revo stage2+ on my car

Wasn't having any issues with the OEM ones fitted but thought I'd get them done as a more preventative measure  :happy2:

Plus they are red  :laugh:

Apart from being cheaper and looking better, they apparently help spark better as well...

Had the R8 coilpacks on my S3. Worked well with no problems. Cheaper than S3 coilpacks n'all.

I would use them again.
