Coil pack options

I am starting to throw the P0351 code indicating coil pack issues so I started looking into options. I found some aftermarket coils for the FRS/BRZ made by a Canadian company called "NP BOOSTED". They claim them to be a performance coil with performance exceeding the OEM product. That is not saying much considering all the stock coil failures.
Has anyone tried out these coils yet? They could be a cheap solution to our coil problems. 4 coils for $200 shipped on ebay.

Is this the same company?

I didn't see anything for the twins on their site, but found the ebay listing you mentioned.

yes, that is them. I don't know anything about them. If the coils are made independently and not just repackaged OEM maybe they are better?

No need to spend $200 on coilpacks. Just eBay all 4 for $80 something and gold tape them so they never go bad again.

I would recommend IP direct coil packs!
