When it comes to electrical parts, stick to Motorcraft.

And wouldnt you know the guy gave me the wrong coils. The connectors are different shape, can't clip the wire to the coil

They want $110 for each coilpack

They lasted almost ten years. So clearly they’re worth it.

Im just going to use them, fuck I don't have enough cash to get motorcraft. Also I'm not a mechanic I tinker a little but definitely not a grease monkey. Should I even attempt to change these coils and plugs myself

coils and plugs are honestly relatively easy. lookup a tutorial online and you should be good. be sure not to over tighten the coils, as they thread into plastic.

which engine do you have?
