The guy who originally did this has been running the setup for over a year.

I'm quite certain you won't get 100k miles out of a set of coils. However, at $30 for a used set, if you were only to get 30k, you can just go buy another set.

You can actually get a set of these coils for cheaper than a 20v distributor cap and rotor.

Also, the main use for this setup is on rwd ae86's where currently you have to either cut a hole in the firewall to clear the distributor, or buy an $700 distributor relocation kit. You can buy an awful lot of honda coils for $700.

In my tests with this setup, the coils did not put off much if any heat.
