Strongly recommend you not cut springs. See how the end coils are at different angles than the middle ones? If you remove those, you mess up spring rate progression, which IME (mostly on BMW) makes a well-tuned German car ride like something Uncle Lester cobbled together in the barn out of antique tractor parts in between running the moonshine still.
If you want to lower, either find different springs to put in there, or have yours compressed and heat-treated by a spring shop. Or better yet, wait until your new engine is in and the weight finalized.
