Cut my front H&R springs today
I took my car over to my friend's shop today and cut my front H&Rs. The front sat a little too high for my liking and looked kind of goofy IMO since the rear looked considerably lower. He ended up taking off 3/4 of a coil and it dropped the front another inch. It's sitting exactly how I wanted it to originally now. I've only put maybe 15 miles on it since but haven't noticed any difference in the way it rides with them cut.
I only took this one pic when he was backing it out of the shop. I'll get some better ones tomorrow when it's light out.

Here's a better shot. The stance is perfect now IMO.
Also just noticed that the first pic I posted looks better on my monitor here at work than it does at home. Wasn't really any need to get a new pic.

The springs were already on the car for probably 5,000+ miles and weren't going to settle anymore. I doubt it will get any lower.
