i have heard from a lot of people that it will ride like crap if you cut the springs and its a bad idea. but ive also heard here that you can cut them but you should have a pro do it because it has to be done perfectly.

If you are going to cut them, cut the top coils. Be prepared to dramatically change the characteristics of what makes them a performance lowering spring. No matter where you cut them, it will change the spring rate, shorten shock/strut travel distance even farther, and will give you a pretty sloppy ride.
in short, dont cut them, search for another alternative.

instead of cutting you should try removing the isolators...

ive heard that the back ones will squeak a lot but that would be a lot better than destroying your susspension and having a crappy ride

I wouldn't do it. I cut a coil off my pro kit back in the day on my Integra GSR and ended up having to get new springs because my car rode like $hit.

Are you the same one that wanted to use a spray can to paint part of the hood?
