Default H&R race springs on my 98 EK

I've had my H&R race / illumina combo for about a year now and my car just doesnt have the correct stance I want. It looks, on level ground, that the back is actually lower than the front. There is like a 1.5 finger gap in the front, while the back is about 1 finger.

Now, i recently read on H&R's site that on 96-00 civics with race springs you can cut the bumpstops for an additional .5 inch lower front and rear.

My question is.....

Should I cut the front bumps and leave that back, because that should ( by what they are saying) even it out and give it the ride im looking for.

I searched on here, archived and recent, and found others asking this and no one gave a difinitive answer. Patrickgsr from like a year ago said it would do nothing by cutting them, but I would like more feedback before dropping the idea (pun int), or cutting the bumps.

Thank you

Nah the ride is amazing still. The illuminas were purchased at the same time, about a year ago. Ive only put about 5k miles on the car since them. Ive always had great exp with illuminas.
