coilpack failure left me and my fam stranded in the mountains...
luckily our insurance covers $100 towards towing. Got it back home, sent the wifey to parts store and she returned with 4 STI version R's. Since I don't have vag I couldn't tell which one was bad and just replaced all 4 at same time. Big difference in power with these. Anyone else use STI brand?

i would probably put the old ones in the trunk for spares, just incase.
if you are really really stranded, and you dont have a vag com, you may have to do the coil pack shuffle until you find the one that is bad.

i bagged them and did place in the trunk. one went bad back in july...
i could tell that one from the others. damn coilpacks! so easy to change though, i guess that makes it better in some way imo.

i assumed the version we all want is the R version which these are...
as far as the kind- STI, that's my question. They have a cool STI sticker on top which makes you want to keep the engine cover off to display them. Looks kind of race like. I know its just a sticker on top but the performance is obvious. Even my wife noticed the seat of the pants feel when I changed them.
