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!

if you cut the springs you will lose performance in the corners. Not to mention it is not safe like everyone has been saying. When you cut a springs that is designed to travel that distance and you shorten that distance is throws your handling off. Not a good idea at all. The reason lowering springs work is because they are designed to be shorter and they are a stiffer spring. you cut the stock ones and its still the same amount of resistance and a shorter spring. NEVER CUT A SPRING PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
