Your fender sits too high and needs to be lowered. Remember, you have about a 2:1 ratio on compressed spring height to fender height. Do this conservatively. You can cut a piece of the spring off, but you can't weld it back on again if you cut too much off.

Looks like a take the existing springs out, cut them, and put them back in. Go 1/2 coil at a time, and remember, like Don said, the springs will settle about an inch in service.

My experience with the front coils on the CR Cobra is a spring compressor is not necessary. I have a spring compressor, and on most other cars it IS necessary. Support the car from the frame with jackstands. Take the shock out. Support the lower control arm with a floor jack. Drop the control arm until there is just tension on it so the ball joint will separate. Take pickle fork & sledge, and separate. As you lower the floor jack supporting the control arm, the spring will fall out. More often than not, you'll damage the rubber grease boot, so have a couple of spares on hand.
