Default ignition coil 99 integra ls

Im in need of a tune up, someone did one before i got the car using autozone parts. However, im assuming the coil ( and probably the cap and rotor are stock), my question is should i replace the coil at this time or should i just let it go and change everything else? I searched and am going to use NGK wires/plugs and OEM cap and rotor. The rest of the tune up is pretty much already been done, T-belt, water pump, air/fuel filters, pvc valve, valve lash adjustment... think thats it, lol. Thanks

EDIT: also i was wondering if the summit brand cap and rotor would be fine?

coils are expensive, i would not replace it if it isnt broken. use oem parts for your cap/rotor

No need to replace it until it dies.

I don't know the lifespan of the ignitor and coil, but at some point, it would be a good idea to keep a spare of each in case one or the other goes out.

its not absolutely necessary but i feel that they are better quality parts and will last longer. i had a cap on an aftermarket dizzy crack after only 10k miles or so, made the car hard to start in the rain b/c the spark was arcing out of the crack in the cap.
