I'd reach out to Matt @ Spoolinup, tell him you're not located in the US, and ask him about shipping you some connectors
had my COP kit for over 3 years now, no issues.
The kit in the link mentioned above uses high quality connectors and it also comes with the washers to keep the coils level on the mounting plate. Hundreds have been sold with absolutely zero complaints. The kit is very comparable to the Spoolin' up kits, but priced more affordable. If you can cut, strip, and crimp wires, you can easily make your own cop kit.

Are you asking how thick the mounting pate is? I'm not sure what you're asking.

Finally sat down and put the entire COP setup together. Had to piece together some hardware for Lowes and Home Depot to get the coils mounted to the plate but it was only a few bucks extra. The binding posts provided from Spoolinup for some reason did not fit the coils I ordered them for. Oh well, I'm not complaining. I ordered the wrong sleeving from Spoolinup too and had to settle with the flex tubing. Back story is that I literally pieced together the set up individually down to the mounting plate that had to be drilled, then rattle can painted. I followed the DIY this post to the T! Crossed my fingers when I turned the key, but the Evo started right up! Now I just need to clean up the routing a little bit!

Anyone know if AN099700-213 denso coils will work? I can't find info on their dwell time but I was able to get a set with pigtails.

Bueller?

So far, has anyone experience a coil failure yet? Many of you have used this for years and operated with wasted sparks.

Thank you for the update! I picked up 2 sets of Honda COPs from local salvage yards. I got a set from Civic 1.5L and then found a set from Accord 4 cylinder afterwards (and can't return my Civic set). I'll use the Accord set since it's the same as the ones used in 2004-2005 S2000 (6732301). I like the 2000-2003 COPs (6732300) better because of their 9000 rpm redline, but no luck finding those used. I am impressed that they still work and last with our evos running them twice as hard.

By the way, I plan on bridging the ground and power wires from both connectors since we are firing 2 coils from each connection. By bridging them, I can use both power sources to reduce the load at each. I can't think of any issues with doing this and want to see if anyone here can think of any.
Thanks for any inputs!

On second thought, I'll run the power and ground on drivers side to cylinders 3 & 4 and passenger's side to 1 & 2. Trigger will remain the same (1 & 4 and 2 & 3). This way, the current draw will be more continuous on both sides.
Can anyone think of any problems with doing this?

Why? It was designed the way it is for a reason. If you're a better electrical engineer than what Mitsubishi can employ, by all means go for it.

All you get is a more complicated wiring harness.
