cutting front springs ?

[RShaips]

I have put drop springs on the rear and wanted to drop my front end about 2". Should I just cut my springs or should I buy new ones ? Also can't you just clamp a couple of coils together to get it to drop ? I put 4" drop springs on the back and I would like to drop the front as cheaply as I can. In the future I may end up buying drop spindles to get another couple of inches up front and buying 6" springs for the back. I just need to get it sitting right for now until I have more cash. thanks
