4Matic suspension idea....need opinions

hi guys, ok now we all know that the 4Matic can not be lowered...but this only applies to the 2 front wheels with their unique suspension...so i am thinking...wut if i get all new springs and struts for the rear and just cut the springs in the front, would this work??? Im not sure if my handling will be as bad as cutting all the springs but i know the back will hug the turns and the front will be all ****ty....wut do you guys think about this idea???

I've had much better luck with sway bars, shocks and tires than lowering. I'm a do it yer selfer kinda guy, so I would just cut the springs, but I would price replacements first in case it didnt' work out.
I'm not sure what size springs you have, but I've bought springs from http://www.portcityracing.com/ for custom applications. They carry several brands with different diameters, lengths and rates. I think they were all about $50ea.
