Default tein coilovers

hey guys as you all know my whip sits up like an SUV so i am gonna get coilovers rather than springs AND shocks. are the tein coilovers okay? i have FWD a4 and i dont want to drop over 1500 on coilovers. any suggestions? i know tein are more of a RICER brand but they are 1100 for the set shipped. and will i need to do anything else or is everything included in the coilover kits? and after i intall them will i definatly need to bring my car in for alignment>? and can a regular shop do alignments for just dealers?

thanks
chris

BTW I ALREADY searched

Give them a call, they are a good company to deal with. Yeah you'll have to get an alignment after the install.

i called them and they saaid that they were the same for the fwd and quattro for the b6(pure motorsports) but the funny thing is for the other two coilovers that they sell the have one for the FWD and one for the quattro so i am guessing that Koni is diffrent and is the same for the quatrroa nd FWD
