OBX SPark coil! Any good?

Has anyone used OBX aftermarket spark coils, or any other performance coils? Do they make any difference?

There is a post on this. Search. But it concluded to go OEM cause some people were having trouble with them falling apart. Good luck dealing with their warranty department too.

Wasn't intending on buying them at 100 bucks for a pair. I just ordered K&N Typhoon short ram intake kit (yes, I have automatic) and hopefully that will give my car a little boost as well as better mileage, my first engine mod.

I didnt like my typhoon. It had a plate inside the tube and while I understand that is supposed to "ram" the air in, it seemed like it would constrict it more. So I bought an ebay CAI and that broke cause my engine was moving too much. Now I have an Injen CAI and I love it. I actually thought I felt a performance increase with it. Good first mod though. Keep it up. Its sad where I am cause there are a handful of evos and a TON of lancers but none of the lancer guys want to mod their cars. I literally am the most modded lancer in probably a hundred miles. It sucks cause I have a ton of spare aftermarket stuff and no one to sell it to.

I'm in Canada, Mitsubishi only came back in 2003 and I bought my car in 2003 so there's not very many I see on the road, which is the way I like it.

Anyways, I can't get a CAI because no one makes one for automatic car. Personally I've driven and loved standard all my life but the past 6 or so years because I thought wife would drive my car, she never got her license and I'm stuck with auto....

Considering I paid 240 for mine FROM the auto parts store, you got a hella good deal on it.
