At least your ends are unified. Mine has the driver side front is lower than any other side. PROBLEM is when turning hard the tire touches the body. >_>

Coilovers FTW!!!!

If you cut, its looks vs. handling. If its just to cruise and for looks, then cut away. But if you plan on AutoX or even midnight mountain runs, be careful, cause alot of negative camber on the rear, will cause sporadic effects when coming out of a corner. Although, I do have a 1.5 negative camber for track days, and daily I use .7 on front and .9 on the rear (least I can go for rear)

That's the strut dampening adjustment. He's talking about where the spring sits on the perch (the point where the bottom of the spring touches the strut) The dampening adjustment does not affect how the car sits at all, only how it handles.
