If you put an E30 M3 spring next to a 318i spring, you'll realize that the M3 spring is identical, minus 1 coil. Same wire thickness, same coil spacing. Go ahead and cut 1 coil. You'll basically end up with stock M3 springs. The whole cut springs = bad myth starte with ricers that cut their springs in half to get that special-ed slammed look. Cutting 1 coil won't hurt a thing and the spring will be slightly stiffer.
