Its all up to the person
I dont mind, i hab had rode wiff cut springs be4. Yes its all how yu cut them yes. But many springs are made with a seat and almost all the times both sides have that seat and have to sit flush in the groove made for that seat. Lots times yu can get away wiff it on some hondas because of the multi-link set-up front and rear. Unlike lots Toyota's and Nissans up front that the spring spins with the steering knuckle on the on the strut top mount bearing, giving a high probabillity of making the cut spring loose its position. Newer hondas are taking this route also. .Besides cut spring just dont have the strength as lowered springs.
