Does the cutting of a spring make it softer or harder?

Actually, it depends on whether the spring you intend on cutting is progressive or not. If not, the shortened spring will be as stiff as before, only will bottom out more easily. If it was progressive, it depends on what end and how much you will cut off.

It's too backyard engineering for my tastes though...
