[V8] Lowering the front end

I would not suggest anything that would affect one end only.

First, why is the front too high?  A dead body in the trunk?
Different shocks front and rear?  Damaged springs in the rear?

None of mine sit higher in front.  Before you decide what to do to
correct your's, it should be determined what is causing the issue.

My previous 89 200q had Boges up front and stock original shocks in
back.  It definitely had a different rake to it.  When I installed new
rear Boges, it jacked the back end back up a corresponding amount.

Gas pressurized shocks do have a tendency to lift a vehicle a bit in
comparison to when the vehicle had non-pressurized units from the
factory.  BTDT several times on various vehicles.
