well most springs have a flat coil at the top and bottom to give a nice seat. once that top coil has been reomved it will no longer sit like it should or ride proper...... so ther is the possible chance it will pop off it seat.... really if you cant afford to buy some lowering springs off ebay for like 50bucks then should not be lowering it. so you take your own risk riding on cut springs. just cause nothing has happend to you or your car does not mean it cant....
