on a serious note, chopping springs is a big no no, but can be done safely, i have chopped springs and is no different to coilovers

you obivously didnt cut the springs evenly as the only time they will come out if there not seated properly, 40mm would be about 2 coils on the front and probably 2.5 on the back
