I don't think it's that bad but it is pretty low. What springs did you use?

Hard to say with the angle shots, but before seems to look better.

I think the back looks fine, but the front is a little much. How is the ride with the cut springs?

The rear is hardly noticable at all if any, but the front is kinda bad. I cut a coil and a half from the rear and the front. I think if i woulda done 3/4 out of the front the ride would be better and not so bouncy? peace

For Sheer Looks I give it an A+ but I am concerned about the drivability for a DD. for the rear it dont look much of a change on the angled pics but in the front its dramatic. how does it handle at 25, 55, 75? can you hit a mild pothole and live through it?

A coil and a half off the stock springs? No wonder it sits so low, I put 5.0 front springs in my old '90 with a coil and a half cut off them and it lowered the front end..well, a little. Maybe an inch at most.
