For your application, OEM COP's are the best money can buy.

OEM doesn't always mean truly OEM. You want Motorcraft coils. Rock Auto has them for $41.99 each. Which is about $20 cheaper than any of the FLAPS.

Don't do it is all I can say. If you need a coil (misfire or code?) then replace the bad ONE with a OEM motorcraft. Maybe buy one extra as a spare. Rarely do you ever need to replace all 10. Here are just a few threads to read. There are hundreds in the EX forum. Search COP, coil on plug.

Thanks. The second one helped a lot. I think I have a misfire but no check engine light so wasn't sure how to find the bad one but looks like they don't really trigger the light unless bad I am guessing

I just ordered a set of 10 from performance distributors. $369.00 for all 10. They have a one year warranty and are direct replacement for the oem units. They put out about 40K volts compared to the oem 25K and produce a hotter spark. I'm running their performance ignition in my Jeep JK and it runs great with it. Quicker start, smoother idle. Can't say I see a tremendous amount more. Just ordered the Banks powerpack system for my V-10 Excursion as I have a cracked passenger side manifold so looking forward to seeing how much performance improvement I see with the headers and complete exhaust.
