Ignition coil NGK or APR

Had a fairly cheap set of NGK coils from rockauto, been running them for 3 years now without issues.

I have ngk coils in mine and they've been fine for 50k+ miles.

My tuned 17' R has had RS7 plugs and APR coils for awhile without issue, but I'm ready for a new set.

When I bought my 2008 VW Rabbit 2.5, it had 142K miles on it and I wanted to be sure I did a complete tune-up, not knowing its history. I bought the whole OEM unit which came with cover, gasket, bolts and PCV valve at a low price from Amazon. When I pulled the coils to replace the plugs, I saw that they were covered in oil from the leaking center section of the gasket, so I bought NGK coils to go with the NGK iridium plugs. When I pulled the plugs, I saw the tops were also covered in oil but the working end of the plugs were fine (Bosch plugs and the original coils). Replacing everything was easy and I torqued everything correctly. No more leaks and the car performs wonderfully on 87 octane.

I have 75K on my CC Sport with APR Stage1+ Tune. I recently changed my plugs and put APR coils in not sure if got any real power but the car feels so much better. At $27 a coil why not use APR?

FWIW, I got an APR Stage 1+ tune on my '13 CC at about 30k miles. Blew one of the stock coils within a month. Replaced with red tops and new plugs and have been good since then (19k miles).

I would stay away from NGK coils, I replaced 4 in my Honda and in 2 months one was out and another starting to go out.

Options like APR's and RS3 coils offer very little if at all over factory other than looking pretty.

After only using the NGK coils for 2 days and when I went to switch them they were fried !!! Complete gone
