1) Never have, never will
2) they feel like you had welded your suspension to the chasis
3) they are as performance efective as the coilovers from ebay

Cutting your springs effectively increases your spring rate proportional to the amount of spring you cut off. That means that once you trim more than a little bit, the springs get painfully stiff. If you MUST cut your springs, do it with a cutoff wheel, not a torch. The heat can take the temper out of the steel, making the springs go the other direction and get so soft that you're constantly smacking the bump stops.
