Question Prenco ignition coils any good?

Hi everyone, I drive a 1999 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. I'm thinking of getting a set of ignition coils in the event the ones I currently have installed bonk out and the only brand I can find in Canada that are affordable are the Prencos from AutoPartsWay.ca for around 200 for 4. Are they any good? Does anyone have any experience with these ones? Can you recommend something within the price range that are better? Also wondering, if I get a new Ignition Control Module, does it matter which one I get? Do I have to buy the one already installed or can I choose between the Huco and Bosch ones? Like does it matter which one I get?

Really? Southgate Audi here in Edmonton wants like $120 each. Are yours for the old style? 2001 and older? Cause the new ones are way cheaper and don't need the ICM.

I just got mine replaced free under a recall...check with the dealer before you purchase.
