Although I've never done it myself, I've seen forum members order shorter springs or even cut the OEM ones on the car to lower the nose. I'm sure someone with experience in that will chime in!

Yes the quick way is to cut a coil off from your front spring. Personally I would prefer to look into coil overs which are adjustable. Cutting a coil out can or could affect the stiffness in your ride. Like I said it is the quick way!
