The trick to it is making sure you cut from the side with the coils closer together, and cut off only an amount that leaves the remaining spring to sit close to the uncut version did in it's perch.
We're not talking about making huge cuts here, just enough to bring ride height down a little.
as for bottoming out, make sure you have bump stops that are in working order to prevent from damaging the shocks.
also, once the springs are in their place, there should be a small amount of preload still holding the springs in their perches.
If you lift the car and the springs will move out of their perch seats, then thats when you've cut too much - and then will have a safety problem like the doomsayer craig says..
