[s-cars] which ignition kit

[AaronT]

I bought the 034 HO kit after fussing with intermittent stock coils and 2
POS failures during the first year i owned the car.  With my wife being the
primary driver I was sold on "This will be the last set of coils you will
ever buy"  Well one just failed but 034 is fully standing behind the
statement.  They claim this is the first failure they have ever seen and
cant wait to get the part back for analysis.  Car is stock with a chip and
coils maybe have 15k mi on them.
When I bought them the news of the 1.8 coils failures was circulating and I
dont think the Delphi coil option was sorted out yet.
How long have people been running the Delphi coils?
