If the 'tuck in' you're talking about is camber, then it is possible. It all depends on how much you lower the car. I have Tein Flex coilovers and do not have a problem with my camber at all. I bought my car with coilovers on it (not sure what brand) but it was dropped over 2" at one point and yes, camber was an issue. I can tell this by the wear on the insides of the tires.
as snowborder said, the tucking of the tire is caused by camber and it will happen when you lower your vehicle no matter what kind of suspension you are running. some nicer coilover kits have pillowball mounts with camber plates built into them. if you want to lower your car, just make sure you get your camber and TOE set at what you want by a professional alignment shop. a lot of people believe that camber is what causes a tire to wear out quickly, but in reality its actually the toe.
if the skunk2 sleeves are the same as ground control sleeves, it will use a rubber o ring in between the shock body and the sleeve itself, so that you can use it on whatever shock you have
Indeed,don't buy them.It's a waste of money.I have them as well,but the spring are so short that the car jumps UP after a bump in the road !! There mutch to short and strong for the stock shocks
I've bought a full INTRAX set now witch i'm going to install this week ....
It all depends on what your going for. If your going for looks and a big drop go with the Eibach sportline. If your going for a stiffer more performance based spring you should go with the Eibach Pro-Kit. Then get some KYB AGX's and you'll be set. Coilovers or useless unless you plan on doing some hardcore racing/autoX
As wret stated earlier, lowering springs on stock dampers isn't recommended. Why? The dampers can't handle the springs, and will wear out much, much sooner. Look around on the handling section of the forum, you'll see what others are running. The more research you do, the better off you'll be. It's better to wait and spend once on a good setup that you'll always be happy with. Sorry for rambling, just giving my $.02
