I believe the way the math works out for cut springs vs softer springs, you lose total travel either way (that's just the nature of lowering) but the cut springs will be effectively "stiffer", because their spring rate increases. If you're looking to just lower, you should cut a slightly softer spring. If increased stiffness is desirable too, cutting the existing springs is fine.
