So I'm going coil on plug for my latest Ka-t build.
What have you guys used as far as smart coils?
I think the LS coils look terrible so they are out, and I don't want to go AEM in case I need to track some down from a local auto parts store during track days.
There's hundreds of options I'm sure. Anyone have any personal experience?

I used LS coils on mine, and while they are ugly...mounting/wiring is everything.

I was looking into k20 coils they seem to sit a little high. Have you used them? Do they support big power?
Also Tuzzio you did a great job with that setup. It looks hella clean. So you just put them on the firewall behind the engine I guess?

The LS coils can be tricky to mount, but they are just so god damn good and cheap.
I like turbo2nr's setup.

I bought a bracket, pretty sure its this one and just made a small plate and self tapered the bracket to the plate and bolted the plate to the back of the head.

Where did you get those spark plug wire ends? That setup looks really good. I may end up following suit.

Custom wires from magnacore. KA plug wire ends and LS coil ends. OEM length.

I'm running k series, made a bracket to allow them to bolt on

Is the bracket really necessary? The coil snap on the plugs pretty firm, right?

I'd rather not have one pop off
