Without making this a personal attack on yourself this is the reason i detest modified cars at times... people who cut corners without the knowledge of what they are doing....

Chopped springs is up there with the worlds most dangerous homemade budges to cars, you are essentially killing the mechanical principles of that spring.... Why not go get some shorter springs and lower it properly...
