<< Cut springs really mess with things, like handling.  I see it all the
 time down here on boy-racer Japanese cars.  They hit a bump, the car
 "pogos" all over the road.  Or digs into the tarmac.  Buy aftermarket
 lowered springs.  H&R's, Eibach, or whatever.  Do anyhthing but cut the
 springs!

Problem number one:
There are no longer any aftermarket springs made for the coupe GT.
Problem number two:
I'd really have to disagree with your cut spring ideas.  First, I had my GT 
lowered in such fashion - about one inch, and it improved the handeling 
without ill effects.  I also did this on my GTi, with the same sucess.  
Downside?  When you jack the car up in the rear, the springs fall from their 
perches.
