Hi there can anybody tell me what the difference between the the standard coils and the sports ones would the sports one make any differance to a standard 1098 running on standard points or is all a load off rubbish because I know lucas isnt the same as it used to be with the quality of the parts.

Hello Alessandro,

you won't notice any difference if you fitted a sports coil, they can be beneficial on high performance engines that put a lot of pressure on the spark plugs.

Exactly! Don't waste your money..... A good old original coil will last 'for ever' if not externally damaged - or left with current flowing through with the engine not running. In other words - never leave the car with the Ign ON and engine not running.......
