Coil Pack upgrade 2015 BRZ

Been having this issue where the car starts up great and drives perfect but when I get into stop and go traffic, idle to long in a parking lot, or sit at a long red light the car will either rough idle or shut off. Car is able to be turned on right after and driven. I've read up on a lot of different causes but I found one recently that all leads to my coil packs needing replaced. I've done a handful of things to help fix the issue ill list them below as well as my mods list. Car has 55k miles

Things ive done to help issue:

Spark plug change
Cleaned MAF
Cleaned throttle body
will be changing oiled soon I'm at 5k miles on this oil

Mods List:
Edelbrock SC
700cc DW injectors
300c DW fuel pump
Grams 72mm TB
VP UEL headers
Ultimate Racing over pipe
Ultimate racing Mid pipe
Invidia N1 CatBack
Perrin LW pulley set
Delicious Tune by William Knose

I basically want some input on good coil packs to buy or any other possible reasons my car dies when it gets hot. THANK YOU!

Have you datalogged to try and catch the issues?

Also don't the 2015s+ have much better coil packs? I seem to remember my coil packs not only looking different but there wiring harnesses are different compared to the 2014 my friend owns.

15' and up has the updated coil packs. Doesn't rule out a bad coil but they typically throw a code.
