Items like coils and leads are often not made by Suzuki, but made by one of the bigger part suppliers. My opinion is find a quality brand you know and trust E.g. Denso, NGK, Beru, Bosch, etc, if any of these make a suitable coil it should work as well as the original.

Even a cheap brand will probably work fine when new, but won’t last as long, so if your aftermarket coils/leads haven’t fixed the problem it might be something else.

Sticking to known OEM brands is good but you're still exposed to the risk of counterfeit items on all the large Internet marketplaces.  Beware of sellers with less than 99.7% positive feedback, dropshippers and any where the feedback hints at goods being non-genuine.

As others have said, try the BigJimny shop (really good if you need parts ASAP).

Or if you don't mind waiting, Amayama  has OEM parts very cheap, although you may have to pay import fees depending on which warehouse you order from (I had do with the Japan one, not the UAE strangley.)

Unfortunately the parts I have needed have been out of stock when I look at their inventory pages. I always look there first as I believe we should all support this shop! If they have it, I will buy it!
