I cant imagine the handling you would get....probably less than none.

Thats probably one of the dumbest/most dangerous thing Ive heard of...cutting springs

just out of curiosity, what does it do. why is it so bad

Well, hen you cut your springs it stifens up your shocks so you have a really bounce ride and if your shocks are hooped to begin with then your in realy big trouble. Also when cutting your springs you mess up the Camber angel on the front wheels mostly, this can result in lose of traction between your tires and the road unless, you like to take turns really fast, then its a good thing. but in other words like others said its just safer to buy lowering springs.... and you also lose a bit of milage when you cut springs cus the tire is on a off center rotation.
