Default Lowered springs: Looks good now or go lower?!

The car is almost ready to go live. My only hesitation is the front ride height. The car currently has 2" Hotchkis lowering leafs in the rear and 2" lowered coils springs in the front. I admit that I have no idea if these springs are the big block or ls-type lowering springs. They were already in the car when I purchased the shell.

The springs have been installed on the car for several years and I have had the LS3 in the car for about 6 months or so, so they have had some time to settle. I have heard that they will settle a bit more after driving though.

I would like the car to sit about an inch or so lower in the front. Should I go ahead and blow some cash on an initial alignment and then drive the car around a while, hoping that it will settle some more? Or should I go ahead and order some different springs? It would be nice if there was a way to tell which springs I have without taking them out of the car, but as of right now, I would have to take the springs out of the car to determine which ones they are.

Here is the car on a very slight incline (it pretty much looks the same on a level surface). As you can see, the rear looks like it is sitting slightly lower than the front, which is lame.
