Front spring I believe is from later cars judging by puck at the tips. At least based on my observation, all 90s and 91s I have seen had flat plates at the tip.
What I did was cut off pucks at both ends. That dropped the front height by about 1/2?. With both ends trimmed, angled approach allows me to avoid scraping of front air dam (I have M1 prowler) over rain gutters and steep drive ways as long as I keep my speed reasonable.
If you want to lower more, you need to trim the top of two mounting points. By doing so, you will have to approach rain gutters and steep driveways with more caution.
I noticed that most cars that had polyurethane wedges, when springs were removed, we discovered polyurethane wedges were typically ground off and gone.
I have not tried but partial trimming of rubber mounting points and reattaching of steel plates using high strength adhesive such as contact cement may survive better than polyurethane wedge.
