Don't do it.
I had a car where the springs were heated and retained and it rode like crap; I can only imagine what cutting it would do. Just go with Eibach's to be on the safe side.

Why not do it right and buy some aftermarket lowering springs, I think that there are safety concerns/issues with cutting your existing springs.
