Default Cutting stock springs?

I know Mr. Sanders just did this to his car. I am interested in cutting mine to lower the front and then removing the spacer to lower the rear. My question is how much should I cut off the front to make it even with the rear. I don't mind if it has a slight rake effect just not to much. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I cut 1 coil off the front of mine.
You'll have to go to pages 1&6 of my website and judge the height and method for yourself.
Good luck
Dave
