I am looking at Coil on Plug's for my 4.6 sohc 2v. The accells look like the best price and have the best reviews by customers. The GMS appear to be better but are only recommended 50% . MSD and Steeda also carry them. Does anyone have any good input or experience with them. Thanks guys. :headbang:

I put a set of Accel's in my '99 2V. My car seems to have a nastier bark when it's started up. Real world performance is harder to qualify; I didn't record any before/after data comparing the stock coils to the Accels. My seat of the pants comparison right after the installation of the coils indicated some performance increase. Nothing earth shaking.

the stock coils work more than good enough for a stock motor, they will support up to 450 hp on an blown/turbo car.

if i was you i'd invest my money else where

this sure is a controversial topic...
i was also looking to get ACCEL COP's but was told nothing is better then the stock COP's ( quality and upto 450hp ) .....but was also told that when people did get them, they did say the car felt more responsive.
hmmmmmmmm ??
at this point, i will change them if 1 goes bad or if i have the extra disposable $250.
thanks guys for the info.

I've tested various coils on the dyno over the years. I've never seen a power increase fom a coil(s) UNLESS the spark was weak enough to cause an OBVIOUS misfire with the old coil. If the car was running smooth at full throttle with the old coils then it won't pick up power with the new coils.
