cutting dead coil off of Tein S techs..?

[Pinchlite]

I want to go about 1/2'' lower and that would be perfect.Coilovers are not necessarily out of budget but not looking to spend $1000 to get that extra 1/2'' drop.I read a thread of using Honda fit coilover sleeve kit but the back end is an issue.

The coils are approx 1/2'' so cutting dead part off should work?

The back for sure needs 1/2'' more.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

I see no issues with that plan

I may just do the backend as it sits slightly higher.I read a post of someone using Fit coil sleeves so that may be an option?
