As long as you cut the part that is for the height your ok. There is the height that sets the cars height and then there is the part that does the compression and rebounding.
Get whatever springs you want. Manufacture give you spec as to what spring rate pressure they are and type of metal. Most of them are same material just different spring rate.

instead of cutting why don't you try heating up the springs with a blow torch lol still bad but at least your not losing any metal.

Cutting springs is for hacks and posers.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Springs have nothing to do with compression and rebound. That's what shock absorbers do.

WTF? springs don't compress under load, and don't expand when taken off load. You are telling me they stay perfectly still and don't move the tiniest hair amount?

I'm saying that ANY cutting of the spring will effect the spring rate and how the spring compresses and expands, there's no way around that. But ultimately how the spring moves is controlled by the shock.

Plus blown out stock shocks can't handle any sort of cut springs anyway.
