All the checks really arent that effective.....
They wont say if they are putting out right, firing correct, or working under load.
I would say just get a new set if in doubt. FD3BOOST $40???? Damn thats HELL-O-CHEAP
I would say check plugs, check wires, god forbid the ignitor (Big money)
Whats happening anyway to make you think its the coils? I saw you said mis-firing.... When? What RPM? Under boost? at idle?

I was under the impression that you can get some for real cheap.

the cheap way to do it is to use another set of *known* good coils form another car. like JTimport said, using a multimeter doesnt say what happens under load, but yes you can check resistance with a multimeter.
always replace the part in question w/ a known good one from a friend before dishing out the money to "try" if that works.
