Poly isolators an moog 5662 front coil springs

Ok so about 2 monthas ago i installed my moog front coil springs an poly energy suspension isolators i think the poly isolators are making the ride height way to high is ok to cut half a coil off the bottom of the spring to make the ride height lower

You can cut springs with a saw never with a torch. What kind of isolators were in it before?
