Default Choosing tein over coilovers

Alright so I've decided in buying the tein springs over coilovers... I know coilvers are better but I really like how they look on the a4's i've seen on cardomain so I'd rather save the extra cash... As far as beefing up the suspension I know a buddy of mine put springs on his car and had his struts brake causing the cars front endto basically fall on the pavement... I'm not looking for anything like that to happen although I believe it was just a mistake on his end and may have been more than the struts...

Also i've been look at some 19's to get the bling bling the audi deserves and I was wondering if the wheel dimensions that people put on the 1.8t's for 2001 would fit my 2001 2.8... Any difference in the wheel well that would cause rubbing and what not?

Thanks

I have Tein s tech springs with bilstein struts and I absolutly love it Ill get pics up in a little.. you will need to upgrade your stock struts because with the incresed drop they will blow out in a yr sometimes less.. take it from someone whos knows.. 19s are a little big might need to go 7.5 as the widest because of rubbing issues or roll your fenders 18's is the norm but 19s have been done in many occassions..

You really think that is ugly...It's the 19's... What if I went 18 by 8.5 do you think there would be issues...
