No it can not be done on the car and honestly it should not be done at all, when you change the height of the spring by cutting it you are also changing the spring rate which is very important to the suspension and handling of your car, I would say that if you want to lower the suspension in the front buy some aftermarket springs they are not that expensive, I have hotchkis springs in my bird and they are great, but there are alot of reputable companies out there. The most important thing is their springs are made with the spring rate you will need for that diameter and height of coil spring. Also if this is your first time doing coil springs BE CAREFUL, they can come flying out of the A-arm like a huge bullet and can kill, What I always do is wrap a piece of chain around a coil of the spring and the frame rail put a bolt in two links to secure it THEN let the support jack down. Just Be Safe, Hope this helps you.
