Keeping stock ride height with an LS1

I'll be putting the ls1 in my car soon, and when I do that I'll need to do something with the front springs to compensate for the lighter engine. I'm really not concerned with lowering the car any more than it is stock because I pretty much drag on everything as it is. I've seen where some people cut their springs. How much do you cut off the springs to get the right ride height? My car was originally an LG4 and I have the stock springs for what it's worth.
