        Expect to replace a coil 1-2 years

        Nothing much really, it's a cheaper option than OEM S2 coils

          They are fine, the only real differences to stock is that they are cheaper and they don't need ignition amplifiers. But they are less resistant to heat and therefore have to be run with the coil cover off which allows better air flow over them and keeps them a bit cooler. They will probably last less time than stock coils but if they do fail changing one is very easy compared to stock plus they cost about half the price. Apikol (https://www.apikol.com) sell kits which plenty of people run with. Some people rave about them others don't!
