I cut my springs. Made my own spring compressor and cut 'em with a chop saw at the same time I replaced all the struts.

Cost = $0 + time and effort.

Results: looks better, corners better, takes big bumps a little worse, effect on mpg undetermined. Theoretically aero and mpg should be improved but my testing/record keeping can't prove it.

Verdict: For me, for this vehicle, it's a win. YMMV
