Worrying about ride yet cutting spring? ....
If those 2 shocks are all you are going to pick from bilstien then, possibly look into revavled ones from strano.
I would advise from cutting springs at all.

Yea, cutting springs is usually a bad idea from many reasons. Heat from cutting can/usually will distort the spring and alter it's properties somewhat. If you aren't exactly dead on you can get an uneven drop, and the car may pull to one side. It's just generally not a good idea.
Basically if you're shelling out the money for shocks, why not go ahead and do it right with new springs?
