i have heard mixed reviews about the cheaper set. most say they are cheap and work great, but are a bit bigger than stock.

i need to check my coils. i have a voltmeter. how do i check these things? as in, what settings on the meter and connected where to what?
thanks

Thanks for the link.

Honestly. I don't know how to test coils either. I know on 1 when I connect the leads the numbers on the voltmeter go crazy and when I connect them on the other they don't do anything...
