Default Lowering the car

I wan't to drop my car about and inch or so all around. I was wanting to by some springs, but i was thinking of just cutting off a coil. I know this isnt the greatest thing to do. I was juust wondering is this ok to do. I'm just going to take off a little. Or while it handle and ride like **** and ride like ***.

I took off 1.5 but my car is a full out drag queen!!!! I would say if its a street daily driver, go with some aftermarket springs for ride quality if that's what you after!!!
