Mirage forums, Eclipse forums, Scion forums and the Focus forums (IIRC) discuss having doubt in the quality of the coil packs. In the Mirage forums you can read about the stock coil packs holding to very high amounts of boost and HP. And the amounts are much more than our cars will ever see.
Instead of using the OBX coil pack replacements the better move is to use MSD coil packs with thicker wires and replace the stock style coil packs altogether. I'll be running a setup like this in the Spring to ensure good spark at high boost.

Does MSD make a replacement coil pack for our cars? What is the best wires that is offered now a days for our cars also. The only ones I found are magnacore ones that rrm sells. I saw some rating on spark plug wires, MSD was the only one better than stock. The rest where worse than stock.

you don't need high end wires like magnacore unless you are pushing a lot of power out of your car and absolutely have to get them. On a regular N/A lancer engine they will make no difference at all over the regular wires.

NGK are the best to get for the lancer. They are the same as stock. and priced cheap too.

Doing a tune up is always recommended, however anyone wanting to get more mileage or performance from their car is wasting their time in replacing the stock ignition components for a higher priced performance alternative.
keep in mind, this is just in relation to the 4G94 engine.

replacing the factory coils, wires and plugs on the lancer when they are worn out will definitely help. However, replacing the factory ones for performance ones when they don't need changing will yield no gains, in performance or gas mileage.
