It shouldn't as long as you don't heat anything up. Just don't cut too much off.

use a die grinder with a cut-off wheel, DO NOT USE A TORCH!

The torch heats up the spring too much and it looses its "spring".

I cut mine 1 coil in the front, and 1/2 coil in the rear and it rides nice and tight even thought all my bushings are shot (another story).

I'm also running V6 springs in the front with a 350, and WS6 springs in the rear.

Oh, it lowered the front about 1-1/2" and the rear about an inch.
