Get whatever springs you want. Manufacture give you spec as to what spring rate pressure they are and type of metal. Most of them are same material just different spring rate.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Springs have nothing to do with compression and rebound. That's what shock absorbers do.

WTF? springs don't compress under load, and don't expand when taken off load. You are telling me they stay perfectly still and don't move the tiniest hair amount?

I'm saying that ANY cutting of the spring will effect the spring rate and how the spring compresses and expands, there's no way around that. But ultimately how the spring moves is controlled by the shock.

Plus blown out stock shocks can't handle any sort of cut springs anyway.
