While getting my tires put on yesterday, I was reading a hot rodding magazine and it mentioned cutting springs. The ONLY reason they gave for not doing it is because you may not perfectly cut them on each side and throw off the balance of the car (or something to that affect). It was an article about weighing a car at all 4 corners and setting it up so it has best weight ratio,etc. So if you cut them, try to cut them in the exact same spot on each side.
