I need to replace the coil packs in my VZ V6. It feels like I had them replaced not that long ago. But might be a few years. Just looking for feedback on what brand seem to be better quality. NGK, ACDelco, Top Gun, Calibre. Just to name a few.

If your VZ V6 coils require replacement frequently, something more serious is going on that does not involve them, but which affects their serviceability.

Check what brand of coil you got last time and don't get the same again this time.
All the good brands have the name printed on the top of them which is easy to see. The cheap and nasty ones have no name.
I believe the best brand is Denso and they are made in Japan. You can find them online for quite good price these days. Don't fall for the so called high power no name coils you see advertised. Delco should be ok too.

Not sure. My mechanic replaced some last time. It was a while ago and I cant remember. but i think only a couple were replaced. I has it in for a service recently a he recommended replacing them due to a common misfire problem. This time im going to replace all of them myself.

I've got no idea what brand were installed. I'll have a look. i'm just looking to see what most people are placing them with.

OEM would be Delco, 2006 VZs onward; like-replacements are by Bosch. But I cannot verify that for the VZ Acclaim wagon, even though it's in the broader VZ family.
