My LS2 coil installation
I finished mounting my LS2 coils today. Used some .075 thick aluminum to make a bracket. Welded some uprights on and voila.
It's very sturdy. I may add one more brace that attaches to the head grounding bolt to triangulate the mounting points and give it a bit more rigidity.

They are not LS1. LS1 have a lighter spark and are a bit different for mounting. These are LS2/LS6/LS9 coils (all the same). around 90mj of spark, LS1 have 40mj and the LS2 truck coils (they are round and have a heat sink) are approx 110mj.
I just picked up my parts that I got from Summit. 6' bulk MSD wire, 4 LS1 ends and 4 plug ends. Now I just need to put them together.
And that my friend is a C30-94 Rotrex :P. Hopefully hitting they dyno next week. Hello 300whp 1.6L.

A little. I had it running today and it flops a bit. The idea here was to get the coils mounted to get the car running so I can swing by my friends house who has the welder. I needed to have the car there to make the brace part since it was too hard to measure correctly when I made the other part.

Bulk Wire, 6' is more than enough and I had 2.5' left over...

LS2 Coil Ends (3 options, 45* is the cheapest)...
Straight - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-3302/
45* - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-3303/
90* - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-3304/
You also need one of these..., they make the best crimps

And a vice to make the wires. And make sure you read up on how to do it. You don't just clamp down, you have to partially strip the wire and bend it over.
Or get the cheapo one but who knows how good it is..

Because the MSD wires for the Miata do not work on the 1.6L and every other option is only 7.5-8mm. These are 8.5, and the total cost was about $25 less than a kit + new boots.
And because I don't want $15 wires. This engine is going to be making some big power and I need wires that are up to the task of delivering the LS2 spark.
