Course, I like traction at the front end too when I ask it to turn.
There's lots of reasons for car ride heights to vary. Springs do sag over time. Many new shocks are gas filled and have some 'spring' to them, which can raise one end of the car when just the front or rear get replaced. The unibody structure itself can be tweaked, twisted or sag in different places over time - especially if there's been accident damage improperly repaired. I'd get the car up on a rack and be certain that there aren't any structural issues first. Check out the points where the
suspension attaches to the car - shocks, and
control arms. Be sure they're all solid with no problems in those areas. Same on the front. If the structure is ok, it's probably sagging springs that are the problem. If it were mine, I'd replace all 4 - not just a pair. If your shocks/struts have a lot of wear and tear on them, they likely need it too. Nothing works over a shock quite like dealing with a spring that's too stiff, or too weak.
I definitely wouldn't cut the front springs. That changes the spring rate, and will really throw things out of whack front to rear in terms of spring rate. It might look better balanced, but it could really be scary in terms of handling. Previous poster's air bag suggestion is probably the budget approach to solving it - but I'd suggest it's a temporary solution. Ultimately, you need to get the right springs on the car.
