I would really like the most powerful plug and play option available. I don't care to mod stuff and rig up the springs, etc. I also plan to upgrade from my 17T's to maybe 19T's or Frankenturbos soon, so I may as well make sure I have the right coils.
I will have something shortly that doesn't require any spring modifications if you don't use the factory resistor. It will just be a stainless insert that goes into the top side of the coil. Really the only spring mod needed with the latest Eldor B58 coils if you use the factory resistor from the eldor boot is to cut them at the right length on the plug side (I provide the length required or I can even cut them for you if I know exactly what coil you are using).

The biggest non plug and play part is splicing in the wiring harness or using a wiring harness adapter. I recommend just splicing it, a good crimp or solder connector is always better than an adapter electrically and it is less bulky and can just be put inside of the wiring guide. If you ever want to go back to stock just buy a used injector harness or crimp new terminals on (I provide the stock style terminals and rubber seals with my kit).
