Lowering question?

I want to lower my camaro, For now I want to cut the springs to see how it looks, and then if I like it I'll buy lowering springs later. I know how to cut the fronts, But I'd like to know if I can cut the rears. I'm not worried about the back bottoming out because I have Air Load Assisters that are in the springs. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Yea you can cut them but I would not recomend it! There are places that sell kits online from 250$/500$ that are removable if you decide to return to stock. I recomed buying a kit so you dont ghetto rig your car. BTW why lower your fbody? We have enough trouble going over decent size dip and speed bumps as it is. AHHHH watch out the air dam just broke!

Those kits u guys are mentioning in summit are for v8 cars, because the weight in front is more on v8 cars, so the springs they sell are compensating for the front weight.
