cutting springs is extremely bad practice. If you look at the springs you
will see, that the top of the springs is sort of flatter than the rest. this
is to ensure a good seat of the springs. If you cut them off, it will sit on
a much smaller surface, often resulting in a dislocated or broken spring.
