Sorry, but on a progressive spring cutting a coil would result in a firmer ride, but on a linear spring it wouldn't change the ride. The math formula F=-kX shows that it is a linear effect and that the force is a function of distance (X) that the spring can be compressed or stretched.
Less distance (i.e. cutting coils) means less available force. A progressive rate spring will most likely be some sort of a square function and it greatly depends on which end you cut the coils. Cutting the softer coils off would increase the overall rate and yield a firmer ride.
However, we don't have progressive rate springs, at least not stock.
