I personally think you will regret it.
Save money and buy a suspension that is not only going to look good but perform as well.

You're handling performance will go to the shitter if you cut the springs.

Save up for something decent - cutting springs is not a good solution. You could end up bottoming out, amongst other things because they springs were not designed to ride at that height.

While you're cutting the springs, you can wear your helmet with the 2 beer cans on the sides and if it doesn't work out, you can just take the wheels off the car and leave it in your front yard on blocks.
