cutting with a torch is a bad idea, but cutting with a cutoff wheel is ok. I'd put a bag of ice on the spring while cutting with a wheel to keep the heat down just to be safe. The torch messes with the tempering of the spring steel .
cutting mercedes springs is also easy because for the most part they are a progressive rate. I'm planning on chopping 1/2-1 coil off my springs on the cabrio to lower it a bit
