    Yeah, looks like the front springs are broken.

    Clean! Probably just needs new springs.

    I sent the seller a message. The front coil springs have been cut to give it a lower stance.

    With an unequal length control arm double wishbone suspension cutting the springs changes the geometry and causes negative camber/the top of the front tire tilts in. It makes the car look weird, don't think there's enough shims to get rid of that. Air bags lowered way down do the same thing. I know little about lowering cars but maybe drop spindles make more sense since you don't change the suspension geometry, even bags are okay if they raise the car up to stock height on the road.
