Just go with Motorcraft. You'll regret it and u'll be back on here complaining because it's running like crap within 10,000 miles. I've seen my share of do it yourselfers putting aftermarket parts in and coming to the dealership for a diag. on whats causing the misfire. 99% of the time as soon as we open the hood and see the aftermarket products we know what it is.....

If you went to a dealer, I can almost guarantee they used motorcraft or OE for that vehicle. Thats all we use. We use OE plugs and wires in whatever we fix, unless specifically asked by the customer for a cheaper one.....

I had an Accel supercoil and wires on a Cutlass way back - worked as advertised. Accel has been around a long time and I wouldn't worry about their coils causing problems. I've had to replace 4 COPs on my f150 so far and If I had found that link for the Accels, I would've bought those instead of the Motorcrafts that I did buy.

I replaced all of mine with the Accel's, and 2 months later, 7 of the 8 are dead. I'm just thankful that Jeg's is taking them back without any trouble. The plastic used isn't strong enough, and it cracked and caused a short.
