After market coils

im looking to replace mine. On one of the coils the little foam part came loose. So i might as well replace them all. I was just wondering if anyone made anything. i tried searching but i suck at it.

You don't have to change all of them, you can just change that 1. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Anyway, sometimes people sell them on here, but go OEM.

most of the "aftermarket" coils from the major brands are OE in the box.

I've got high HP, It's not the coils that you replace more it's the plugs you replace more often, especially with Forced induction.

bad relay?
the coil may be getting power still which could cause it to overheat and fail
