SEEKING ADVICE: 5.5 gen coilpacks vs. M35 coil packs

well i was at the junkyard and was looking for some coil packs to get for my 5.5 gen. didnt come across any of my year but i did come across a 07 M35. The coils looked the same as the 5.5 gen. My question is, is there a difference between the two? Ive tried to do some research on this but couldnt find anyone who tried this. Maby some one did and never posted about it.
Anyway..as far as i can tell physically..the m35 is a tad bit taller..and the number on all of them end in 3103g and the 5.5 gen end in 3102g. Anything different with voltage wise??

I am not sure of the exact difference but there is a difference. Even the look is different in the middle of the stems and the height distance I would trust. That is a lot of work to install them for them not to work properly. If you are feeling lucky you could always swap out the front three which are ez and see if you have an issue. Again remember they get mounted in if one is taller will it allow you to mount properly? Just a few questions I would have. Good luck bro.

Aside from the length, they will be the same.

The length differs due to the IM design on the RWD VQ35. Considering the price on FWD coil packs these days, why not just go with those? Nothing to gain using the M35 units.
