240 stock springs Can you cut them

I want to lower my car by cutting the springs until I can afford some good coilovers. Can you cut the springs and have the spring sit ok?

dont cut the springs. it will probably come out uneven, and your ride quality will go to hell. just wait till you have the money for the coilovers, it is well worth it. i have met people that have cut or heated their spring and i feel bad for them since they were so eager to lower their car, they gave up ride quality and now regret it.

i cut my friends springs up front, i havent riden in his car but he says he loves how it handles being as they are not after market performance springs, but yeah do it right and just buy some springs\ coilovers, but if you must cut them here what it looks like with 1 1/2 coils cut off up front.
