25 years shouldn't worry it. What's the difference between a bosch blue and a GT40, I know the Yanks always recommend the blue?

I have been electricuted by the high tension leads of both the blue and gt40 coils, and the gt40 one hurt more...

Don't ask how. was a while back now. I got pretty airborne in the process.

So what is the difference and are some coils better than others? I recently replaced my coil with a Bosch SU12 but it seems that it has already chucked it in as the problem seems to have come back, are some coils better than others?

OK, I'll ask it a different way, why advertise for " As in the title, im after a new blue coil." when you can go to supercheap and buy a bosch coil to suit for about $35 ?
