My boss told me this, an alternitive to cutting springs.

jack the car up and put axle stands under the suspension(so wheel is off and suspension is compressed)(4 post hoist may be better for this!)

Then put blocks of whatever under the chassis/sill the same hieght as you want your ride height to be.

Then fire up your oxy torch and heat up the springs untill they sag with the heat. so the car will lower itself onto the blocks you put under the chassis/sill!

Still wouldnt reccomend it though! Ive never tried it and ive never cut springs.... 1000s dont have coil spings you see
