what coils / plug wires is everyone using here?  stock coils are like $85 each, and the plug wires are $50, which seems like its the same cost as aftermarket ones.

+1 on the COP conversion...I did mine a couple of weeks ago...Runs smoother, pulls harder...Not too much more $$$ then just changing wires...And a no brainer if you are thinking about replacing stock coil pack..

+2.  Great upgrade, I didn't figure it'd make much difference, I was (just testing it out) but it was noticeable.  I decided to keep it.
