2 coils cut from each front spring, and some kind of eibach lowering springs in the rear.

after:

for some reason the car doesnt sit level. it could be due to the amount of weight ive pulled from the car or ????? but i had to put in 4 rubber coil spacers that sit inside the coils on the pass. side rear spring. to level it up a little. the front seems to sit higher, but im not too worried about that. the ride though is much different then what i had before. at least it doesnt rub now, when i take a turn.

That's what happens when you cut coils.  Many times, it will take the "temper" out of the coil you're cutting on and weaken the spring.  I NEVER cut coils...bad idea all around....  I'd be surprised if it isn't an evil handling beast on the road.  :)
The future...
