i wouldnt be cutting your springs, especially if they are eibach...

i agree about not cutting the eibach springs, only because they are good springs and you could probebly on-sell them,

but in my oppinion cutting springs is safe, as long as the springs remain captive when the car is raised, you may have to get your rear shocks shortened, i had to,
and i would say first try a smaller spring pad if that is an option, or if u cant just cut a half coil, dont heat to cut

What about the spring pad suggestion? Did you check to see which ones you have now?

Cutting progressive springs is fine.

looks like a rubber doughnut in your spring perch. little nubs/bumps of rubber either have 1 2 3 4 5 bumps. 1 is the thinnest (lowest) ,5 fattest

Yea dont cut those springs man. Just change the pads cause you probably have like a #4 and if you drop down sizes your gonna notice a difference in the ride hieght right away.
