Cutting the springs, at least the way I did it, won't hurt the handling. It helps, perhaps from just lowering the center of gravity but it helps. The nose of the car is still diving too much under braking. I think a stiffer spring in the front is needed. Body roll is not a problem. The Stoptech's with the Carbotech pads are amazing. Now I have more braking power than grip. The car is a little loose but controllable. I ordered a probe tire pyrometer and when it arrives I'll get the alignment and pressures nailed down. I'm still not a challenge to the 4wd beasts but all the rest are within reach now.

I have used these in the past, they will stiffen up your front end big time and stop the nose dive.
I would get the medium, the hard is just too stiff.
