Plugs, COP's, Boots

So the local shop quoted me like $380 to change out the plugs in my 2002 v8. They quoted me bosch plats for like $25 each, and the rest is labor.

So I'm kind of on a budget so I've been looking around. Going to Ford's website, the DG491 (same thing as a 508??) cops for my truck are $75 each, and the plugs SP479 are like $7 each.

Ive been watching ebay, and the COPS seem to average $49 or higher. I saw someone post on here they just got a whole set for the mid $300s.

So I found this today:

Genuine New Motorcraft Ignition Coil DG508 DG491 FD503

$39 each for the coil and boot (unless they remove them from the box).

Anyone ever here of this company? Is this a good price, or should I keep shopping? My truck is still having the stumbling issue and Id like to replace the plugs/cops/boots all at once and be done with it.

Thoughts?

Oh, and part 2: Fords shows the SP479 as my plugs, and dg491 as my cops. Should I stick with these, or is there a better model?

Also, Ive seen used cops online with like 5k miles on them. Are these good enough to go for?

Thanks for the input!
