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

My first car was a Volkswagen Passat. I was on a budget and got a good deal on a really nice car. It was a dream to ride, except when everything kept going wrong. I went through multiple ignition coils, the car caught fire (bad coil, again) and had thousands in damage. Beyond that, getting tires balanced wasn\u2019t a simple job. Everywhere needed to special order shims from Germany because that\u2019s the only way a Volkswagen tire could be balanced.

Pros: dream to ride, good deal

Cons: car caught fire, expensive maintenance

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

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
