Take a close, careful look at their eBay Feedback profile. :wink:

If the price is too good to be true on Ebay, it's usually counterfeit. I got burned, once, thinking I was getting a box of Nissan spark plugs. They just like NGK's and were in Nissan packaging. The only way I figured out they were counterfeits was that there was a copper core in the ground electrode (NGK Laser Platinums have a solid Nickel ground electrode). If you need one or more coils and don't want to take a chance, you can get Hitachi coil packs, made in Japan, for $35/ea. at Rockauto. I trust the Hitachi coils more than the Hanshin coils, anyway. I remember too many Hanshin coil backs failing on older Nissan's back when I worked for Nissan.
