If you cut a coil it won't sit as it should in the pocket. The last coil in a spring is flat so the contact is proper.

See how the last coil is flat, but the one above it is on an angle? If you cut it there will be a lot of pressure on a very small area.

Lowering springs are your best bet, as above.
