4KQ spring chop?

[Phil Mather]

I've heard of it being done before, but wanted to confirm.  Can you cut a coil off of the front springs on a 4kq?  The front of my car rides fairly high and I'm too cheap to buy lowering springs.  I'm putting new strut mounts in this weekend though and while everything was out I thought I could cut the springs (with a cutting wheel, not a tourch).  How likely is it that the strut would bottom out (bump stops are still good, PO replaced them)?  Thanks!
