Default best place to buy coil pack?

I need a coil pack for my 03 sti, where is the best place to get one?

Also with me being like a child when it comes to mechanics, are they easy to change?

Thanks

With that statement, I guess that you have never done a spark plug change on a flat four motor??

Very easy mate. Depends which side has gone but if its on the driver's side you need to remove the air filter and maf housing to gain access. If its on the passenger side, the it's the battery and windscreen wash bottle.

Then the coils are held in place by a 12mm bolt. The you just unplug the connector and start fitting the replacement.

Easy job mate.

Spot on mate thanks, ive done basic mechanics but the Impreza is still new to me so I'd rather be told it all as basic as possible so I dont mess the job up.
