Damn, that was a confusing sentence! Spell properly!

If you do it correctly, it isn't dangerous...

if you do it correctly, everything works out just fine. It's when you half-a** it that things get dangerous.

Make sure you get an alignment after lowering, too

As long as you use a saw or die cutter or to cut them, it doesn't effect them. Stock springs aren't progressive rate, so the spring rate isn't effected from cutting a coil off. Just don't use a torch or head to cut them.
