You can cut a bit, but before doing that, remove the spring insulator (a rubber piece on top of the spring) and replace it with radiator hose. Removal will drop the car about a 1/2 inch.

Sorry, Stalin, I think the last part of your question is lost in translation. I'm unsure what a logbook is.

Ah. Is the logbook something official? No such report necessary here in the states.
