I wouldn't do it. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the h&r springs already drop it more than the eibach's? (.5 inches more) So that right that would make it pretty low. Also, I don't think the ride would be too great b/c I don't think the shocks could compensate for the cut springs. Plus I'm sure you are going to get alot of people on here to respond "ricer" b/c that is what others do to their stock springs. I have eibach's on mine, and I can barely fit my hand b/t my tire and fender, so I wouldn't want it any lower. (then I couldn't clean up under there.)

I'd stay away from cutting springs, the shocks can be damaged due to the difference in travel distance - you will bottom out the strut.
