Default Advise on coil packs,pic attached

I have just changed my spark plugs as i was starting to get a poor running problem,and as the plugs were well due for replacement,i changed them.
I had a good look at the coil packs and 2 of them have what to me looks like signs of arking,i they have an area of white around what looks like the crack.
Anyone who has knowledge about this please look at pic and give me your opinion.
Thanks

You need to take the rubber boot off the end to see if you have got a problem. You won't see any problem with the main body of the pack....it is the area under the rubber boot that you will get the arcing from.

I am thinking that i will just take the plunge and get a set of coil packs.Im fairly sure they are the original ones on there.

No probs

Just replace them all at once and you wont have to worry. They are about £55 each so start saving those pennies!

the single bolt fixing is for the series 1 impreza, and the two bolt coil packs tend to be found on leggy turbos..............
