Hello guys! It has been a while. Thanks God , my vibe has not given me any kind of trouble lately. Except for the one of the coil packs. My cousin advised me to change the whole four of them. He said that most of the times when one coil pack goes bad, the other three are going bad any time soon as well. So, I was checking online but there are so many different brands, that I am driving myself crazy. My original coil packs have the TOYOTA DENSO part number: 90919-02239 Japan. However, my sister has a 2004 Vibe and her coil packs have the TOYOTA DENSO 90080-19015. I was also looking for the original DENSO 673-1300. I noticed that one coil pack was not original on Vibe. This means that it was already replaced. This particular coil pack does not have any brand or numbers on it but it has worked very good for me for as long as I have owned the Vibe. This made me consider other brand options due to the huge difference between them and the original ones. There are also a bunch of other brands like Concord (Part # CI-9011B), STANDARD SMP (Part # UF2470, BORG WARNER (Part # E864), BECK ARNLEY (Part # 1788302), AIRTEX (Part # 5C1074), WELLS (Part # C1249), and many others. I also need to say that I am using an used TOYOTA DENSO 90919-02239 which I purchased locally for cheap so that I could keep on driving my Vibe until I best decide (My Vibe is running great with it). So, I have not rush on the coil pack purchase. Based on your experience, I would like to know the best option to buy or any other recommendations that you may have. Thanks!

OEM or DENSO. If you want some aftermarket I'll sell you 2 new ones $100 shipped. All the aftermarket ones I've installed are worse than OEM.

OEM or DENSO are the well known to be the best options. However, I have seen many brand new aftermarket ones for even $14.00, $19.00, $25.00 shipping included on eBay. Keep in mind that one coil pack was already replaced. This particular coil pack seems to be aftermarket and it has worked very good for me for as long as I have owned the Vibe.
The ones I have come with a lifetime warranty from O'Reilly Auto Parts. They were a different brand than the first ones that went bad. None the less they were $75 each. If you want to buy $20 aftermarket ones from e-bay then goodluck.

You are offering a great deal. But you are going on a different direction. I am not saying that the coil packs that you are offering are better or worse than the eBay's. I am just saying that there are many different brands out there with different prices. I am just trying to determine which is the best aftermarket brands quality and price wise based on this forum members' experience.

You'll want DENSO. Someone brought a GTS Celica in for repairs due to misfires on two or three cylinders...the problem was bad aftermarket coil packs on every cylinder with a misfire.
