pull the plug wires from the coils and reseat them, it cant hurt and it wont cost anything.
make sure your plug wires click twice when pushing them into the coils, make sure they click once when pushing them onto the spark plug.

Fixed it!!! it was'nt the plugs, wires coil packs or even the rods or crankshaft...It was the installation of the plugs. What happened was when my friend and i installed the plugs we over tightened cyl 1's plug, wich threaded the area where the plug meets the head. so then i had it re-threaded and voila! misfires gone.

thats exactly it, we went over our installation process and changed coil packs to find out wich cylinder was misfiring, from there we narrowed it down to cyl 1 and fixed the problem.
