The front can only go so low.

You cut from the top if you do from the bottom then it'll get to large and the coil won't seat on the strut. The max on the front I've seen cut is 2 coils. Start with half a coil at a time. It may not seem like a lot but it is. Once done sand the cut end and apply some rust free paint on it.

It shouldn't effect it too much it maybe slightly stiffer
