coils wouldnt make your car faster. they will keep you car running right. the Eldor coils (s55/ rolls royce coils) are a great coilpack. much better than the Bosch or Delphi ones. the Bimmerlife and PR coils are great for cars that want a little more peace of mind. those 3 options are the best ones you can get to reduce your chances of coilpack misfires.

I had the eldor ones on my FBO stock turbo 135i track car ran great but I'm switching to the Bimmerlife coils for 2 reasons, 1) I'm going pure stage 2 hi flows and dont want to deal with misfires. 2) they are red. lol

Yeah sorry about that, BTW they do look like a PITA to install and if they go bad, you're stuck. I think I would put FCP to the challenge:

Eldors for 39.95 at FCP EURO carry a lifetime warranty, seems like a NB:

If you are not crazy about the lifetime warranty and just want a better deal, here you go:
