Has anyone used these coils?

It used to be part of a Suzuki service schedule to swop the plugs 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 to even out the spark erosion wear

Yep, you can do that, but personally I never felt the need, meaning: I never noticed a difference in erosion of the electrodes in such a degree that I've would have judged swopping necessary.

Tried and tested by a forum member, hardly unknown!

Tested for how long? Did he have a look at the inside, the wires, the quality of the isolation in there?
If a coil is of a known brand, you can buy it, even when made in P.R.C but... if it's a non brand and made in P.R.C, look elswehere. My advice.

Well the known brand are more expensive and I asked DS about theirs and they couldn't tell me the resistance. So I checked with Ash, and he said go for these as the resistance is documented and correct for the bike.

Thanks for your advice and feedback, I get where you are coming from, I am also wary of cheap parts especially on the Wild West which is Ebay! However on this occasion, these coils are from Hendler, a UK based company, and supplied to the company I purchased them from, also based in UK, direct link below:

Sounds like you had a bad experience in the past, but alas it makes no difference to me if these were made in UK or PRC, especially as I already have them and they work fine! 

Time will tell
