No major benefit, but would you rarther buy a used set on here for circa £100 with unsure guarantee if they work correctly or last, or pay a bit extra and buy 'new' items with a stronger/thicker coil for the performance ones with a more positive reliability that they won't fail?
Fit n forget stuff.

They do the grey ones for stock motors or the red ones for performance motors but be sure to get correct ones as they do different lengths for 2.0 and 2.5

As above I would rather buy a new set than risk buying used, the last thing I need on mapping day is a coil going, then you need to buy new anyway and pay for another map.
