how much did it lower the car. technically you can cut them. i had bbk lowering springs on my old stang but gave them to my girl for her car. before we put them on we cut a coil out of the back and a coil and a half out of the front. honestly it looks cool as $h!t but it rides like complete a$$. if you do cut them i highly suggest NO MORE than half a coil to a coil MAX

why dont you jus install the eibachs taht you bought? or did you just buy 2 rear ones? the eibachs will lower it a good bit. like 1.4 or so

It will ride like sh*t if you cut the stock springs that much. Buy some H&R SS springs or Sportlines, I am sure you can call somewhere and buy just 2.
