yea me being cheap i did it form an online guide about 4 years ago in high-school

i mean the car had a good look but the ride was hard i hit a crack in the road i would feel it, so i just put the stock springs back on.

but you need to get someone that know how to really do it and it will be great

It all depends on the the currant springs/rates you have or what springs you plan to use. Rule of thumb cutting one coil off will increase spring stiffness by 10% if you already have too soft or too stiff of springs cutting coils is not going to be a good way to go.
