Default cutting front springs

I want to cut my front intrax lowering springs by .5 inches, which will make a 2" drop up front and a 1.6" in back. My question is will it cause my springs to sag or go lower after I cut them or will it remain the same 2 " drop. Also will my car ride about the same?

your car will ride worse. dont cut the springs. ifthey arent done exactly to the same height, you will have issues with pulling to one direction, uneven tire wear and alignment issues. just leave them as they are or get a different set.
