Default lowering kit?

Does anyone sell lowered front springs for my 76'...or do I have to cut the original ones on the car?

VBP sells about any suspension part you can imagine. There are also bolt in adjustable coil over kits but Ive heard too many bad things about those.

The 550lbs spring that VBP sells lower the front to approximately 27" (floor to fender lip at center of wheel) and the ride quality is still ok, it's not too harsh.

Your height may differ, but the 550# springs from VBP have gotten good feedback 'round these parts.
