    Interesting request, but why wouldnt you just use a dremel with a nice cutting wheel ?

    figured quickest is easiest, we are gonna put the springs on as they are and see about the height. I'll probably just get someone with a grinder to cut them up if i decided to.

    you may use a grinder to grind a flat on the last couple of inches

    if i end up doing it i will heat up the last coil and collapse it even with the next coil and then grind it at an angle so its almost completely flat across.

    Using a grinder or band saw to cut thru spring steel is NOT easy and certinly time consuming.
