Default Where are you guys buying LS coils?

Find them everywhere (amazon, ebay...) but some reviews say they are fakes or not the model advertised. I need 10457730 D585 coils. Who got the hook up?
Need 4 ASAP

Used is the way to go. Ebay if I'm in a hurry, local LKQ will more or less give me rails of the things if they sit around long enough. It's been a few years since I bought any though.

Ebay is best if you search for the truck that came with the coils you are after, reference the pics if they bother to post them to find the right ones. If you start searching actual part numbers the price goes up, those sellers know why we want them.

I am also running the R8 coils successfully, though I got the FlowForce kit (super easy to install)

no issues at all

Has anyone found a reliable coil on ebay or amazon or still the best solution is junkyard? If junkyard, is there a maximum amount of miles that I should consider a cut off point and not bother taking those coils?
Thanks

If I buy junkyard coils is there anyway to verify they are decent before I leave the yard? Obviously no red or yellow ones but anyway to know that they are original factory coils? Checking mileage is out as there is no power to the vehicles to get odometer (i'm assuming GM uses digital odometer).

Thanks

I get LS coils for free at work. They aren't the D585s but they're still coils that come off LS engines. For some reason GM sends all new coil packs with engines. I usually put the old coils back on and save the new ones. Keep in mind I'm usually replacing engines in 14-22 trucks and sometimes under warranty.
