^Yes, cutting springs makes them even stiffer.

I think if you spent some quality time in a junkyard, armed with coil spring measurements of diameter, length, and wire gauge of your existing springs then aiming for the same dia. but perhaps lower length and for sure smaller gauge, you could find suitable replacements that way for cheap.
