Default Can I cut aprings?

I just got my 03 cobra seats in my 92 gt. They look hot. I have a set of frpp lowering springs on my car. When I put the sn95 spindles on my car with the cobra brakes it made my car lower in the front than in the rear, it wasn't like that before. I want it nice and level. Does cutting the rear springs cause the spring rate to differ or mess them up. Should I just get the granatelli motorsports lower control arms with the cups that can raise and lower the car. Does anyone have the gms control arms, and do they really lower the car an inch even with lowering springs on it already.

the adjustable rear control arms (weight jackers) will allow you to lift the rear up to 2" higher, or drop it 1" lower

You can cut your springs, they are specific rate, so it wont hurt unless you take off more than one coil. If you are looking to get new lowers, get those ones, I have them and I like them(although I haven't drove on them yet)
