hey i got a 93 civic, was thinking about lowering it, my buddy said i might be able to just cut them but wasnt sure.

dont cut your springs it makes for a sloppy ride i recommend getting lowering springs. theres so many brands so you choose. when you go to a site that sells them such as hasport they will ask the make and model. springs are not tuff to put in as long as you have the tools i recommend using a haynes book manual on how to remove your shock but once you do that you just take out the old spring and put the new one. its a better ride and you can keep your stock shocks on.
