R8 / red top coil packs

[Hanelicha]

Hi, can anyone please advise.
My standard 1.8tfsi coils aren't giving any hassles. Will there be any difference on power or economically if we replace it with R8 / red top coil pack?
Got a quote from Goldwagen for Beru red top ZSE051 for R570 each. Are these the correct coils? Would you know where I may find it at a better price?
Thanks

No benefits at all.

I still use stock coil packs on my S3.

That's it to be honest....there was a lot of talk about this a few years ago,including the shockingly expensive Okada coilpacks,and the end result was that the Okadas could maybe get you a few bhp at peak rpm,but that was it.

Basically nothing in real terms,and way less than 0.1bar extra would get you....

All good fun though Alex .

Beware that not all red top coil packs available to buy are genuine Audi even though the advert says they are.

AKS have the genuine item at a competitive price.
