Hi Bob, The best method is with a hack saw because of the minimal heat generated, unless of course you have a bionic arm! In all honesty, the best thing to do would be to get a set of springs that designed to lower the car. Cutting coils is a hit or miss deal and once the coil is cut the spring rate changes so you won't know what you have until after you go through all the trouble of removing the springs, cutting them, and then reinstalling them.
Back in my early years, I had a 67 Camaro and I wanted to lower it. I pulled the coils, cut 1 coil off, then thought to myself, "What if it's not low enough?" so naturally, I went ahead and cut another 1.5 coils off just to be safe. Needless to say, it ended up being on the ground. The front crossmember was about an inch off the pavement. It looked cool as hell but rode like a piece of crap. Whatever you decide to do, just be conservative.
