When I put the lowering springs in my '82 the old ones were fine.  I
think you can tell springs are bad if they sag.  I also suspect you
should buy some lowering springs, not cut yours down - the end loops are
different (flat to set in the seat).  And there's the old fashioned way
- heat 'em up til the car sags as much as you want... Don't!  only
mentioned for folklore value!
