I never said to cut stock springs, just so you know. Spring rate is determined by the number of winds, the diameter of those winds, and the diameter of the wire being wound. Simply cutting them leaves you with the undesired side effect of the spring not being the ideal rate to resist bottoming (especially if the shocks are questionable) and the spring not lining up with the cut outs in the top or bottom spring perch. Other than that, it works pretty good.
