Yeah that does look better now and I hope the cut springs don't give you any issue.

I mean, just cutting coil springs is never really recommended. Having read how you cut them, one coil up, I'm assuming you cut them in a direct straight line above the factory cut location. That being said, since the spring is the same diameter, the spring should still rests in the strut seat in the same exact manner. If you did, I think you should be fine however there's always that possibility when you alter factory designed parts.

I would recommend Canuck Motorsports lowering springs.

As for bags, I know of one guy that bagged a 2000-05 Monte Carlo but I'm not sure if he's on the actual Forum and I have no clue of the ride quality. Lisa probably knows who I'm talking about.
