After Market Ignition Coil Experience???
Has anyone tried the aftermarket coils that are sold on Ebay?
Would appreciate any feedback.
I know the general consensus is to go with OEM but for under $120 for a set of eight is hard to argue with if they're any good.

Stay away
Fuel, air and ignition, these three major components once done correctly makes a healthy engine( there's others of course). I would purchase ignition coils from the dealer only because it's one of the major components.
I've had past issues with injectors where i tried to save a few bucks only to find out it was A nightmare. Buying from a dealer just assures a peace of mind. Bad ignition symptoms are a pain in the a$$ to detect and somewhat frustrating. My 2 cents.

Was wondering if the coils were any good.
Dealer sourced coils would probably be $200+ EACH! and given the value of our SL's now days that's probably more than 10% of the value of the car!
