In my experience of cutting Trifive front coils or using lowering springs, the car actually handled and steered Better than before! I can't explain why but that is how it worked for me on several cars over many years. Having said that I use both dropped spindles and lowering springs on mine now. But nothing bad happens with a cut coil.

I have dropped spindles and lowering coils and 215 size tires with the original manual steering box. It steers easy as pie except at a dead stop when it is hard. With any motion, even slow, the steering is nice.
