Coil packs at autozone

Decided I'm going to replace the coil packs in my '99, getting an occasional dropout at idle. Are the ones sold at autozone the same as oem? If not, are they as good?

Bad idea to get Autozone ones, get the OEM ones and don't have to think about it for a long time!!!

Call DaveB for the best prices.

I think the Autozone ones are OEM, see if they are stamped "Hanshin" or somthing along those lines.

I've been around a lot longer than you have on this board. I know what to do and not to do. You just cluttered the board by responding to my original post. He could of reponded with an answer like, "I didn't drive my car yesterday."

I have seen his name few times but how do I get in touch with DaveB?
The Zone, Napa, Schuck's not to mention the web have all kinds of different brands.
Which are OEM coils? OEM was bad to start with!!! Should I just go Mitsu!

I replaced 2 of the coilpacks in mine with Hanshins. Bought them from Autozone. It's been over 3 years and no problems so far.
