Default miss fire - bad coil pack

OK, two days ago I started having a slight miss fire, finally threw a code P0308, cyl #8 miss fire. I moved the coil pack to cly #6 to troubleshoot and the code moved along with the coil pack to P0306 which is cly #6. Sooo, I have a bad coil pack.

Any recommendations to purchase replacements, I'm seeing prices all over the place. Should I go ahead and replace all 8 or will just replacing the one be OK?

What does everyone think of this set of 8...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Igniton-Coil...6005983?_ul=AR

Well what did I have to loose? $17.42 that's what! Got the coil today and it threw a P0356 code, moved it to cly 8 and it threw a P0358 code. New coil does not work on my car! Pc of s**t!.

Ordered another one that's more expensive for a different vendor, will see if it works.
