As the title asks - need to identify my coils, if they're D585s then I can't (and also don't need to) fit the RRP coils I ordered prematurely. I stupidly assumed the R3 was stock and took the previous owners idea that the rough idle and shuddering were the coils as gospel - it's the engine mounts, the engine runs beautifully otherwise.
May have to see if I can get a refund on the RRP coil kit and instead order a set of their engine mounts.
Are these D585 coils?

Re: Are these D585 coils?
Yes, they're the same coils as these

However, that doesn't mean that they're okay.

Re: Are these D585 coils?
That's a fair point, and I did think I'd just replace them anyway to be sure, however RRP coils can't be used where D585s have been (because I don't know if the dwell has been tinkered with), and there doesn't seem to be any misfire issues - the engine is smooth and powerful right through the rev range. I think replacing the mounts first to rule them out is the best first step. And if I can prevent spending too much money upfront, that'd be nice too

Re: Are these D585 coils?
RRP graciously accepted my return, and I've ordered a set of their engine mounts (in red)
If I discover coil issues once I've got the mounts and other pieces sorted (like the leaky exhaust), then I'll re-evaluate.
