Answer
If you changed the coils, and changed the plugs, and still have misfires it is time to use a more sophisticated diagnostic system.  Find someone with the factory test gear or an Autologic - either the dealer or a well equipped independent specialist - and look at the live data.  You need to know if it's rich or lean when it misfires, and decide where to go from here.  There are certainly many possible causes of misfire, but you hit the most common ones.  So it's not obvious where to go from here without further testing.
