Wouldn't advise doing that unless you can calculate your spring rates etc using math and formulas.
What shocks are you running?

I'm not rich either. But you won't catch me cutting springs. There's no science behind it. Just go ahead and do it since you will no matter what anyone says.

IF IF IF you cut them, cut one of the dead coils off.
cutting springs is a very silly idea, sell the springs and buy coilovers. That is the "correct" way to do things. There is really no reason to cut springs. This isn't the 70's, and these aren't muscle cars.

op.. prepare to bang, scrape, bounce, and drag until the balljoints break.
