Default Help leveling car

I am sure this has been talked about before but I just cant find the answer. When I bought my car it already had hothckis lowering springs on it. The problem I have is the car sits a little highr in the front than in the rear. It is not alot but just enough that when I walk out to my car and it is sitting in a level parking lot that it drives me crazy. I have put up with it for about 2 years now but now I need to fix it. What is the best way to go about taking care of this. Do I have any other options than just buying new springs.\
Thanks

Maybe the car's previous owner removed the rear spring isolators.
FYI I cut a little off the bottom of my Hotchkis fronts before I installed them,
and I'm glad I did.
IMO the "level" look sucks.

How much did you cut off and do you think it changed the way it rides or handles.
