Front springs?

I know this topic has been absolutely beaten to death, however I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. I have a '71 Nova with Cal Tracs and a pump gas small block, and I know Santhuff springs are arguably the best. However, at $190 a pair they're not exactly a bargain. I bought the lightest Moroso springs for my car, and with 1750lb front end weight, the car still sat to high and I had to cut 1 coil to get it to sit where I want. My question is, has anybody had any luck with a factory replacement 4cyl Nova/6cyl with no a/c spring? Or, are there any specific MOOG part numbers that are really soft and will work in a small tire car? I'd like to put them in basically uncut if possible..Just curious is anyone is running anything other than a Moroso or Santhuff spring. Thanks.
