Wait until they throw a DTC code, unless you are replacing the rear plugs, then some peeps replace coils on only the rears, but even that is just buying insurance on lost time in future. Failing coil packs is not common, wait until it happens.
I had one go out around 135K and it lit up my dash with check engine lights etc, lol
Then I limped down to the local Advance and paid $90 for an after market one.
My car was happy but I was not.
Check engine, etc off.
Luckily it was on bank 2(front) where it was easy to get to.
Then I went on ebay and I took a chance on a replacement from China that claimed it was OEM.
It had all the proper markings and had "Diamond" stamped on it like my original.
It took a month to get it and I thought if it was junk oh well I gave t a shot.
I only paid $19 for it so I wasn't expecting much and wondered if it was a fake so I installed it and yanked the Advance after-market one off and ran it for a year.
Never do i buy non OEM parts but the OEM were so expensive so I was like ok so after the first one ran a year I ordered 2 more and did the bank 2 and been running them another year.
The looked identical to the ones I had but like the original poster said I was wondering how long my original one would last too.
Now that they have proven them self and my gas mileage went up I ordered 3 more so when I have time I will yank the plenum and everything else off again and replace the bank 1(rear)/
Just FYI for anyone else wondering about the coil pack options.

Hi, I just go my last 3 coil packs in on Friday. I ordered them on 03-25 and got them this Friday 04-14.
The seller name was kris_bali but I checked and didn't see any more listed so I don't know.
Here is what I got.
I will prob move the front coils that have proven themselves to the back bank and put these on the front bank.
I compared them to my oem and they look legit to me so who knows.lol
