Good suggestions. I think the cheapest and easiest way would be to start with a metal heat shield for the coils that extends over the header and op to block heat from getting near the passengers side coils.

This would be a great opportunity for a parts manufacturer for this platform to step in and fab up a solution for testing and a possible new product release. Everyone that tracks their 86 could potentially benefit from something like this if it makes the coils last longer, which it very well should.
