Cutting springs, Is it possible with our springs? Options

[SleekCelica]

Has anyone actually done it? I'm not planning to do this as a permanent type thing; my car just sits too high. I just need to know if it's possible. And what you guys would recommend. Thanks!

I've never admitted it, but I've been driving on cut springs for about a year now. If you only cut half a coil off of the fronts and the rears it will lower just a bit and the springs won't be loose on the strut. Handling hasn't changed at all, no issues, struts doing fine (well as fine as 170k mile struts can do). Definitely don't cut more than half a coil, I did on my rears and it made them just a little short, and when the car is raised up they are slightly too short to keep tension. They are fine when the car is on the ground though.

I will tell you that I cut them with the plan of replacing them soon anyways, it's definitely not a permanent solution. I'm going to be doing all new struts and springs soon so I figured if this blows my struts then oh well. Just don't expect to be able to cut off enough to significantly lower the car without harming the handling and ride.

These are the crappy pics I took a few days ago, you can kind of tell it's sitting a bit lower. Car sits exactly level, but the front looks higher because the wheel arches are higher.
