The problem with cutting the springs is that you have no clue what sort of spring rates you would have after you do it. Don't do it

bah its not that bad if u just go 1 1/2 coils or so

if you going to be carrying stuff in the back or people and have hils and bumps to go over you have the chance of bottoming out

if your cheap or its a short term thing till you save for beter springs go for it
