I know there is a lot of write up that explain this, i just figured i would add one more for another reference.
i have a limited crossfire and i cut my limited stock springs.
REAR SPRINGS
1) jack up your car and put on jack stands
2) pull off tire
3) remove plastic cover on A-arm (two MM bolts)
4) put the floor jack under the A-arm and put Little tension on the spring
5) on the A-arm there are two bolts and nuts more torwards the rotor. these need to be removed. one holds the shock to the A-arm the other holds the rear tie rod (i wanna call it) to the A-arm. both of these bolts are going to get loose at a different height. so your going to need to higher and lower the jack for each bolt.
6) then with those 2 bolts out, keep the jack under the A-arm. then torwards the middle of the car and the end of the A-arm you will see the final bolt holding the A-arm to the car. with this bolt again its going to be at a certain height were the bolt i going to be easiest to get out. so upper and lower jack accordingly.
7) when removed slowly!! lower jack. the spring should pop out. same process for driver and passenger rear.
8) don't forget to take out the rubber pad the spring sits in on the upper coil (some times is comes out with the spring, some times not)
9) at this point you can do it now or after you cut the springs but your going to have to cut the shock rubber bushing in half.
CUTTING SPRINGS:
what i tried first was trying to use a saw saw with a new blade. did nothing. i recommend that if you don't have anything to cut it to go to a shop of something. i went to my local machine shop and they did them for a 6 pack of beer.
i heard and i cut from the top. so thats what i did. figured it was best cause the new cut metal will be some what protected by the rubber pad.
**paint the spring after cut so its protected from rust. especially the newly cut metal!
i cut my rear springs 10 inch measure around coils. just over 3/4s of the coil. one full coils measured about 12 inches. i got about an 1 1/2 inch drop. I'm level to the front now. I'm not going to do the fronts yet cause I'm going up in rims size soon.
Reinstall everything in reverse.
use jack to line up the bolts. all going to be at different heights again. make sure that the rubber pad is put back on the spring correctly and that the bottom of the springs is seated in the A-arm correctly. there is only one way to seat it so don't seat it wrong.
