Your coils you can get the Stockers on Ebay for like 100(someone posted the link in the COP Stickey i think). the GOOD Coils, for supercharged cars are like 400 for 8.

Spark Plugs are a few dollars a piece. Where do you live? Im sure if its near anyone on here they will help you out.. its a REALLY easy job to do...

If you can find someone to help you, don't spend a grand at a shop. To me that seems WAY high.

+1 billion!!
I will literally crawl through his comp monitor and slap him if he spends a grand on this. just buy the parts online and install them yourself. its not hard to do. simple hand tools will do the job.If you dont know how to do it, read the sticky and if you have any questions, ask them here. One of us will walk you through it. Dont let the shop PIIYB.....

U might need a 8mm Socket as your only tool. (or is it 10...) Definitely post where you live, If your WIthin 100 miles of me Drive to my house and i will put them in for yah.. take like 20mins. I just changed four of mine, got them used from a friend for free.

Shops like that **** me off, thats ALOT of money!! Some guy by me paid 1200 to get a flowmaster exhaust.... The shop ordered it for him and installed it lol.... he thought he got such a great deal!!
