Tein coilovers installed this weekend (Pics inside)
#16
I figured since I wouldnt even know how to set them up that I wouldn't need them. I don't think I am experienced enough to know if it should be harder or softer or whatever. These feel pretty good though I will say.

Sorry- I meant a a general rule of thumb that adjustable dampening on coulovers is typically adjusted on the **** at the top of the upper strut mount. Tein basics are NOT adjustable dampening wise...

Looks good, but i wouldve reccomended some coilovers that offered dampening adjustment. From what i've heard, many people eventually switch from Teins to anything with dampening adjustments. It's a relatively easy system to use, just twist the **** for a softer or a harsher ride.
I pick the 1st wheel, they're concept ones correct? I would suggest Concept One CS 5.0

What do you guys think abiout the camber though? Will getting 19's make it worse or better?

Getting bigger wheels won't affect camber. If you havent already buy a rear camber kit and a toe bolt, so you can adjust the camber. Make sure you have zero toe all around so you wont get crazy wear. Judging by the height you're at it shouldnt be too bad, but it really depends on each car.

Being a former S4 owner, I KNOW those cars would eat our G35's as an appetizer.....a way more refined, driver friendly automobile. Faster, smoother, better ride, handling, etc....only thing that some people might complain about them is that their styling is a bit bland....something that I personally loved about my S4 (sleeper...and only car enthusiasts really knew what it was).
Sorry, just needed to voice my opinion on your statement, if I understood it correctly. Didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Don't get me wrong, I like my 08x, but if you are implying that a AUDI S4 (especially one as new as an '12) is in a lower class than our G35's, you are on some controlled substance.
