DENSO Part # 6732302

I went for the ones from the S2000 (2.0L Civic) because I figured they'd have decent performance.

2001-05 Acura EL Ignition Coil (Set of 4) for L4 1.7L
2001-05 Honda Civic Ignition Coil (Set of 4) for L4 1.7L

You do NOT need to stretch out the springs in the coil. You do NOT need a plate. They fit perfect under the stock cover. I bolted them down to the valve cover bolts (as you can see) and they lined up just right. If anyone is interested, pm me and I can show you what I did

This is a budget COP setup, less than $100 if junkyard is reasonable.

sorry guys woke up late

. yes they fit great love them definately the most worthy mod yet.

I am now how ever getting miss fire at around 3/4 throttle and up but runs perfect at idle and below 3/4 throttle, any ideas?

I do have an x-power ignition booster which I kept in the works but as far as everything else ignition is stock.

I mean pics of how they sit now. "fit great" to you and "fit great" to someone else may be two entirely different things

K so at this point my tl coils are looking to be bust i just switched back to factory and my misfire under load problem is gone everything back to normal and i did check all wiring, plugs, and coils they were fine i guess just not compatible on the high end. So i will getting some different coils.
