Not a good idea. I have a 71 cutlass conv. and replaced the front springs and it sat too high for me too. I went with the 2 in lowering spindles. Much better and i didn't compromise the springs. The spring commpesor is tough to get in there to really compress them enough to get them out without separting the lower ball joint anyway. And I'm not sure how much you would need to cut to get the drop you want, plus it has to be pretty even on both sides. I like the lowering spindles. I got them from OPGI.
