Don't forget to get a wheel alignment to get everything back into spec.

Really man that’s it for quality coils for a G? I dropped my VW R32 on a set of $1100 coils once and it was the worst idea/ride/headache ever. I ended up replacing them with onse that cost $2600 and took a hit on the bargain basement priced ones. I know we are talking about two completely vehicles but $800 coils sound like the would ride like a hard tail Harley. I would love to go for a spin in a G with these coils because after my experience I would never do it again! You get what you pay for….Just my opinion.
