Default Cut Coils and Stock Rear Camber Arms

Can anyone post pics with their rear coils cut and still have their stock rear camber arms? I know the camber would be more negative with cut coils but how does it look? I'm into the cambered look.... Thanks

Cutting coils is the last thing you want to do. Really stupid.

Was really hoping for pics and helpful input rather than criticism

Just get some coils the length you want and keep the factory coils. If you don't like it switch it back or if you sell the car put the originals back on.


You might be ok to change the spring pads and get a little of what you want?

LOL...you just have to love it. Some have cut their coils for lowering. No real bad effects except when you cut too much, and now are too low with no way to fix it. Then you have to buy Jim's... The better route is to figure what spring rate you want to go to for your application, and how low you want to go. Buy the new springs. There should be some older posts with photos talking about cutting coils. It used to be a big topic on here. So do a little searching in the older posts. Many of them don't post here anymore, so you won't get many answers unless you search.
