Not to mention that cut springs are illegal and would more that likely void your insurance.
Buy some lowered springs

As well as voiding your insurance, cut srpings are just plain dangerous to drive on.

Just a tip on changing the springs
If you don't have a rattle gun to undo the top nut you might want to crack it before you jack the car up, otherwise you will be there for ages as the shock that the nut does up on will just turn and go round n round n round.........
NOTE dont undo this nut completely before you put the spring clamps on, otherwise shit will fly and fingers will be broken.
Also mark which one of the 3 strut nuts is at the front as there is a right and wrong way they go in. Make it easier when you put it back together.
Otherwise as vbv6er said
