What size wheel are going to put?
I cut 2 at the back and heat the front spring when I got 18".
The cutting of spring is OK, but not heating... it damage the spring. now I get 19" with H&R spring without cutting it, it look very nice.....
The ride is still acceptable the most important is the handling feeling.
This is the pic with 18"
cut 2 coils at the back and heat the front spring.

My friend cut his front h& r springs and its been about 9 months and he has no problem so far. Make sure that the place where u get them cut knows what they are doing. I heard theres a certain way you should cut them.
