Ignition coil NGK or HITACHI

NGK Ignition coil

I've been running the NGK since I'm pretty sure they are the OE manufacturer. Subaru is charging crack prices for those coils.

Pros: OE manufacturer
Cons: expensive
Vehicle: Subaru

HITACHI Ignition coil

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

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
