Ignition coil kit

I have a 2013 GL550 4matic twin turbo V8. I'm a DYI guy and I'm inquiring on the best aftermarket ignition coil kit and spark plugs.
Anyone anyone have experience with this?

Thank you,
Cliff

OEM only. The plugs MUST be torqued properly or the engine can be damaged beyond repair
