You're better off trading them for sprints or something else. Read why:

One coil in the front should do it. But why? you have plenty of picky people swap out with them or buy them. Back in 97-99 all we had was Eibach HR and intrax and the new introduced cattman coilovers and GCs. Now we have many more springs to choose from. Id go that route and yes I currently have cut front springs.

Not a good idea to cut springs, springs are designed to handle a specific vehicle's weight. You are reducing a springs ability to safely support your vehicle's weight by cutting, plus it will make your ride bouncy. Not a good thing for your struts and bushings. If you want to slam your ride, go for a coilover setup like WeaponR. Just remember to get a camber kit when u slam your ride to correct your alignment and avoid abnormal tire wear. Do it right the first time and you won't have problems and you won't be posting back here frantically cuz your suspension is shot.
