proper lowering an 87 cutlass supreme brougham

hi there,
I just bought an 87 supreme and it's been lowerd alot.
it was pulling to the right alot while I was driving
so I took it in for a wheel alignment and they noticed that my front tires are shot and the metal is starting to come through, and the front right is leaning in. They said that the coils have been cut, is that a bad way to go do I need to buy proper lowering springs or what?
somone please help

Not bad, if you're only going down a couple of inches, and it's done by someone who knows what they are doing.

Better.

Lowering spindles, are always the best choice.
