Since car has 41K miles, I guess it's time to change out the coils. I am thinking BAV auto one for the fact the the coil caps are red in color

I haven't bought the scan tool yet so not sure where the misfires are coming from, could and or should I change the coils?
Didn't Bav Auto shut down? See info on ECS site: https://www.ecstuning.com/Page/bavau...rsrc=bvadomain

I went with Eldor coils and NGK 97506 plugs gapped at ~0.020". Wasn't having any issues prior to the plug/coil swap but regardless it seems smoother on cold start and throughout the rev range.
