Man, the cost of the LS2/3 OE coils over here are about the same as the MSD!!
Not sure how much they are over in the US, my price would convert to about $800 US for a set of 8.

^^Well, look at it this way, one buys you nothing but trouble, while the other, like its not even there.
Another source would be a used set, @ CorvetteForum For Sale Section, I see it from time to time - might be a good alternative, even factoring in the postage to down under?
HTHs.

Yes it does seem the consensus is that the LS2/3 OE coils are the ones to use. In my case I am hiding the coil packs in a row at the rear of the engine on top of the transmission bell housing as there's a fair bit of room, so as they wont be seen it doesn't really matter how good or bad they look.
Even the OE packs are expensive here in Australia, about $850 US.
Can anybody suggest an on-line store I could order OE coils by mail order at a good price?

I'd consider them for a car that will be in car shows, very low miles driven, they look good in parking lot with the hood up. Sometimes I think that is only reason why people buy them

So I am more looking for a good option, one that will perform well, but not be too expensive for no performance gain.

First time I've seen the The Accel ones and they look great! I'd think about a set if I needed to replace my stockers! errr, just saw they are for LS2's and up
