Don't bother with the R8 coils that everyone says is an upgrade. It isn't. They are just red.
Cons: not an upgrade, cosmetic only
I have used the R8 red top coils. I went back to stock coils after noticing a slight low speed low rpm hesitation. No misfire codes but it just didn’t run the same. It ran great when winding it out but I don’t do that all the time.
Pros: ran great at high RPM
Cons: low speed hesitation, didn't run same
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
R8 coil packs definitely work better IF you’re tuned.
Pros: work better when tuned
Vehicle:

There is one benefit to running R8 coils on a stock TSI. They seem to be a hell of a lot more reliable.
Pros: more reliable
Vehicle:

So, I went to my VW/Audi dealers here in Tampa and purchased the stock RS7 spark plugs and RS3 ignition coils. The exhaust smelled slightly worse at startup after the change, but still went away shortly after startup. The idle was smoother but I attribute that to old stock coils and spark plugs.
Pros: smoother idle
Cons: exhaust smelled worse
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 60000 km
The only thing I have are the R8 coils, other than that stock everything. The car drives mint
Pros: car drives mint
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The Audi bolt-down ones are good. I replaced the push-down coils that had a failure about every year or two with the bolt-downs just a week or so befor VW announced the recall. Zero, zero, zero problems ever since.
Pros: zero problems
Cons: push-down coils failure
