If you decide to cut, use the old hack saw way because using a cutting torch may weaken the strength of the springs.

Lowering springs have higher spring rates which have less chance of you bottoming out from less bouncing up and down.
My Civic came with cut springs. The ride was stupid bouncy. Every bump it would be close to bottoming out unless I took it real easy.

I don't recommend it.
