General guideline would be to keep it ~3/4" lower than OEM and not much if any lower than that. Its not likely you're too stiff, but probably just don't have any travel before you're on the bump stops.
My front springs are 66% stiffer than yours, for example, and I have more front swaybar. Crazy huh? I'm not as low though, so I'm not hitting bump stops.
The difference between a 295 on a 10.5" wheel and a 305 or 315 on a 11" wheel is small. If you have the right tire that won't be a big difference. That said, my fast wheels are 11' front and 12" rear FWIW. I'd fit a 12" front too but cutting would be involved, and I'd have to switch coilover brands.
Don't underestimate shock tuning. If you're full stiff or full soft or just haven't explored your shock settings, they can be a big part of if a car feels too stiff or too soft.
