Doing my rear plugs soon, and figured might as well replace the coils while I'm t it since I'm high milage.

Anyone here replace a coil on a RX330 with an aftermarket coil? If so, any issues?

there really is no point in changing them for the sake of it while you are there. unless of course you can get them for free. if they are faulty you will get an engine light, then change them

Kiwi, at approximately 200K miles your rear coils will begin to go out as they did / do on the RX300. Especially #6. Ihave 190 now. So knowing that I have about 25K miles before one goes out, I might as well replace them while I have it apart as to avoid a sure fire coil outage within the year or two.
