Quality of aftermarket ignition coils Evo 8
So looks like one of my coils broke--my guess is when I was replacing the wires I must have pulled out the contact sleeve in one of them, so it's not connecting to the wire to send a spark to cylinder 3.
I happened to have ordered a used one on eBay, just to have a spare, but there's no attesting to it's quality or if it even works ("pulled out of customer's car" in the description). But hey, it was cheap.
So while I may go to a Spark Tech non CDI system http://www.sparktechignitions.net/st...products_id=49, I was looking at some other options to see what's available. Two new OEM ignition coils will run me more than the Spark Tech system, which is why I would go Spark Tech if OEM was the only option. But I see a ton of these aftermarket coils on eBay such as this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-MITSUBIS...-/222254894183
And wondering if they'll get me through the day.
FYI It's a DD Evo8, a few bolt ons, nothing of note. Don't plan on doing anything other than keeping it a reliable and fun DD unless something else becomes my DD and then I can 'because racecar' with it.
Thanks for any help!

The factory original coils are the best.
I wouldn't use anything else.
They don't lose their output with age either........it's an internet myth started in order to sell more crap aftermarket parts.

I think it happened when I bought new boots and replaced them, and when I pulled off one of the wires it took the metal contact sleeve with it somehow and I'm left with nothing.
