Idea's on ignition system for RA

I have heard different things and different systems we can use to upgrade the ignition. I have been told to try MSD Dis 4, I have heard about HKS 4 channel ignition, and then the AEM 4 channel ignition..........now does anyone know which one of the 3 i have heard would work or does anyone know of another system not mentioned?

Sorry to be a noob, but what's the benefit of an upgraded ignition?

I'll wager a guess that aftermarket ignitions would not work with the RA.

Due to having individual coils. Just my guess anyway not saying for sure that it can't be done.

It probably could be done, but then you'd have the aftermarket stuff bolted somewhere in your engine bay, and spark plug wires running to the plugs.

For a stock or lightly modded car, the stock ignition is more than adequate. Any potential benefit from it would be far outweighed at this point by the cost. I might start researching ignition upgrades if I had already turboed my car, and wanted to run crazy high boost. Even then, I'd have to be sure it was the stock ignition that couldn't keep up.
