If you do replace a coil, go with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. Cheap coils cause new problems. The Hitachi coils on RockAuto are probably alright.
Pros: quality aftermarket parts
Cons: cheap coils cause problems

Description

I got the coil conversion kit from import car parts and GD 2.0l coils. The new age coils needed to be trimmed a little from the edges to fit. I bought hitachi coils instead of oem diamond ones and saved a lot of money. They work perfectly.
Pros: work perfectly, saved money
Cons: needed to be trimmed
Next time I'd just get the proper Hitachi coils and Denso/Ngk plugs. They don't even cost much more. The Fit is pretty sensitive about using proper plugs/coils.
Pros: proper plugs/coils
Cons: car is sensitive
Vehicle:
Honda Fit

Pros: fixed stuttering, good quality

Ive had zero problems with Hitachi coils.

Replaced the plugs and coils with Hitachis from Rock Auto for about $40 a piece. The Hitachis turned out to be dog \ud83d\udca9 and every one blew within about a year (the first one went bad in about a month).
