One of the users on this site, whos name escapes me was using them and one of them melted on him.
I on to change the coils (02 2.4) and looking at ebay I saw this "high power coils" from OBX, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-X...Q5fAccessories
Does this really compared to OEM works? Are worth it?

X2, I would think twice if I were you. Found the other user's build thread, check it out for yourself:

mrg is in the middle of contacting the company and seeing what he can do about it, but I would stick with OEM
First let me say that for a coil to melt there is other issues that cause this. Manufacturing of these things is pretty simple and they are not common to be melted. Other factors suchs as improper spark plugs used, not changing regularly, bad O2 sensor, faulty wiring...
The really is no reason you would need to "upgrade" the ignition coil. You need to also understand the ignition system on the 8g 4 cylinder is not as weak as its V6 counterpart which is ran from a distributor. The 4 cyl ignition is an Electronic Ignition and uses high power coils, you have two coils, 1 for each par of plugs which is sufficient for a lot of boosted folks even.

Then is a BIG NO, thanks Guys!
I was the member that had the melted coil packs, lets just say stay the f*** away, OBX has not contacted me back. For the money i paid for them i am pretty pissed off.
I would say anything that has obx on it they are a shitty ass company.

Yeah i hope so too. I was on their website today, and it was saying that all OBX products have a iftime warrenty, Yet they wont contact me to honor it????
Did you try to contact the seller? I think electronic devices are not covered but the seller at least should offer few days.
I did but the day i went to contact them ebay listed them as a discontinued store, so i am assuming that they went outta business, i bought mine from titan overstock, which if you go onto OBX's website they are listed as a authorized vendor
Some products from OBX isnt really that bad at all....well maybe two things arent that bad which is the Racing headers or the turbo manifold they have, and the cam gear they have. The electronics I wouldnt trust for shit, but other than that you should keep trying to contact the seller which is on ebay I believe you said...go thew paypal or ebay open a case. Once you open one than everything will be fine either you get money back or another to replace it which ever you two deside.

thats pretty messed up that they havent contacted you... but I have bought the same pair of obx ignition coils because I had a p0300 I installed it and the DTC went away I have those same ignition coils for a little over a year now and they haven't melted at all... you must have had something we call in quality control as "the one that got away"
