4KQ spring chop?

[Richard Tanimura]

You can cut them but the spring constant will increase i.e. the spring will
get firmer.

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!

Phil
