Dropping, even by cutting springs, will increase your spring rate.
Increasing spring rate at the front without adjusting the rear will yield more understeer.
It will also increase the natural frequency at the front end, upsetting the front-rear balance, which could lead to a "pitching" feeling going over bumps at a certain speed. This is where the discussion gets a little long-winded, so I'll stop there. If you need more info, just ask.
