I have noted that some folks like to cut their coil springs on the front to lower their car.

This is my first king pin front ended car - so my question is, if you lower the front end by cutting the coils, does the camber, caster or toe in/out change appreciably ? It would appear to me that the camber/caster do not but the toe does.

Any thoughts you can share about this ?

The toe in will change somewhat as will the camber.   Caster is not adjustable other than by shims placed at the inner control arm pivot.   Straight ahead and Straight up and down are the ideal specs, but a slight toe in is OK.  If you lower it too much, you will get "bump" steer.
