"buy a couple spares and throw in the trunk like DME relay?"
That would be good insurance!
Here's what I carry:
'88 911 3.2 - DME relay, coil, fuel pump, fan belt, rotor, oil

Loren,
If Bosch non-Brazilian coils are no longer available and the Bosch silver coils are unreliable at best, what would you use as alternative? Would like to know your thoughts on this. MSD, Jacobs, Nology, Accel, etc... or buy a couple spares and throw in the trunk like DME relay?

what is the answer to this question? .. is the answer to buy spares of the silver?

Thanks Loren.
Only reason i ask is that i can get them locally for about a third of what the p-dealer wants (and right away vice waiting two weeks!) and i remember using them way back when. One concern i had is they are designed for points style ignition.
Do you know if our ignition leads plug right on to them or do i need to replace/modify the connector?

This thread mentions the silver coils for a 964, which are currently available, are also made in Brazil.........and several users have had issues.
Both coils are made in Brazil.....can we assume of the same quality?
