You have obviously already made up your mind about cutting the springs but I still want to add that it is a bad idea and very unsafe. You really don't want to compromise the saftey and reliablity of your suspension for aesthetics.

So how exactly did you cut it since the spring is narrow at the top, gets fat towards the middle, and gets narrow again at the bottom?

i was told always cut from the bottom so i just took a coil off the back from the bottom and half a coil from the bottom of the front springs

how does it sit? I would assume not too stable since it needs to be narrow towards the bottom to sit on the strut
