That's right you didn't say anything about your car, but you also didn't say anything about someone else's car. It was basically left open ended. Combine that with the way you worded it, and with H&R's in your sig, and it's not hard to see where the confusion came in. Of course it's no big deal lol.
So anyways, if this "other" person simply cannot afford after market springs, then the only ones that i would even consider cutting would be the stockers or some other linear rate spring. Of course the less you cut, the better off you'll be in terms of not possibly screwing something up. I personally would not cut a progressive rate spring.
Obviously this isn't the best way to go about lowering your car, but many people have done it with success.

Cutting springs or swapping to shorter ones will have the same effect on camber.
