Cut sprint fronts?

I know a lot of people have cut the rearson sprints to even out the stance, but i havent heard of any one cuttng the fronts, would 1 coil off the front be too low and cause rubbing, camber issues and blown struts? How about if you had kybs? would the ride be horrible and unsafe?

You will have MAJOR clearance issues and your car will sit diagonally, but if you can deal with those I think you will be fine.

You will have no suspension travel at all. In this case, you can save weight by just leaving the springs off the car completely...
