When should the coil packs be changed?

Just as it says. I have 60K on the factory packs. What are the signs that I should toss some new ones on?

Ive never heard of anyone having to replace them to tell you the truth.

I am not near mine but I guess the easy answer is the owners manual would say when they would need to be changed out?

After a little research it seems as though the coils are either good or bad, no need to replace. However, the second I have $600 laying around I will jump on them on the basis of an appearence modification to complement the wires...

As for MSD's claims of increased spark output and decreased time it takes to deliever, I doubt you would see any type of difference on a stock motor. It would take some crazy kind of cylinder pressure to need a spark like that.
