Coil pack quality?? does it matter what make?
 

Hi, just going to order a full set of coil packs, i went on to the Eurocarparts sight and found 3 different makes of coil pack for a 2.5 1997 boxster.

The price varies greatly

£18.80 for ARC
£23.91 for BOSCH
£30.23 for BERU

Is there any difference in quality? are you just paying for the name? does it really matter which make you buy?

At approx £65 difference in price ($95?) the saving can buy you a Mobile 1 oil change and filter so i thought i'd ask the forum what there views are on the subject :)

Well, the factory packs are BERU, but I'd imagine they're probably all fine, I'd certainly have no issue buying the Bosch packs. Never heard of ARC.

On a side note, it's "Mobil" 1 (as in the oil company), not "Mobile" 1 (as in your phone) :)

lol... i really could'nt be bothered to edit it when I re read my post, but i should have known better! you guys are BRUTAL!!!! :D

I too thought the Bosch to be the best choice, i'd never heard of ARC either, I just thought the comparisons in price verses quality were worth mentioning on the forum as it could save a few $'s to someone on a tight budget.

good job you did'nt see my 997 seat swap typing error, i spelt porsche "porche" TWICE!!! in my jpeg title's...EPIC FAIL!!! :o I'm surprised i was'nt kicked off the site :D still i can still spell colour right... :p :cheers:
