Don't cut..
It's better to heat a short length of the coil until it sags. If you cut the spring you make it stiffer. When the spring is compressed, as by a bump in the road, the wire twists and then springs back. A shorter wire is harder to twist; therefore a stiffer spring.
Also, it's a lot easier to make them sag than to remove them, cut them, and contour the ends fo fit the mounts.
Where I live, it's more about raising the suspension (3 miles of bad dirt road).
