spindles will lower without changing suspension angles, to staighten your wheels youl have to shim the top A-arm.
some people say its okay to cut coils but I woulnd, if you want to lower the rear more get longer u bolts and blocks to space the axle. good luck |

You can't cut the rear coils because they are pigtailed at the ends. You would cut off the pigtail, then how do you plan on reattatching it to the frame? Won't work, get shorter rear coils, and replace them, they are only $120 a pair! You front tires can be straightened by getting a front end alignment. You should have done this when you put the front springs in anyway. They will set the angle back to where it's supposed to be.
