Sorry but I had to laugh, Something like this happened to someone else?
How could that be?

So what does the other side look like?

How much did you cut? They do make spacers for coil springs.

Well, as I said earlier, the guy I bought the car from replaced the right spring only. That means, the left spring is worn out much more than the right one...got my drift!!! Nothing was done wrong with respect to cutting the springs.

Earlier the car was so high in the front that I didn't notice the difference. Now it shows, the difference between the right and left side is about an inch, or a bit more. Pictures will show, coming soon
