WOULD IT BE SAFE TO CUT ORIGINAL G500 SPRINGS A LITTLE BIT?

hello there, i was really thinking of lowering my g500 suspension height to the g63 amg length. i was wondering if cutting my original g500 springs will do the trick? i don't want any bouncing effects after or anything like that. would anyone think this is an okay idea? i might even purchase original g63 shocks after doing this...

ps. original G63 springs go for tons of money and they are very hard to find

That would make them a bit stiffer too and possibly too stiff. Also note you might need G63 track bar and steering arms if there isn't enough adjustibility. I'm sure someone knows if those parts are different or not, or you could check to see if the G63 has different part numbers than yours for those parts. You might also check to make sure the drivelines wouldn't be to long after you lower it.
