The pic that he^^ posted looks good!
As far as cutting the springs goes, I am pretty much against cutting springs. For a lot of reasons.
NOW with that being said, I have cut DF210's on my car. Long stort short I was in a tight spot and a local guy was selling these springs (already cut). It was 5pm and I needed to be somewhere the next day. On the DF210's I'm sure you noticed there are 3 "dead" coils I think. What I mean is that there are 3 coils (either on the top or bottom), that are laying flat against one another. The guy only cut 1 coil off, so there was still 2 "dead" coils and fitment/mounting of the spring was not an issue. I haven't had any issues and I only daily my car and put-put around so I don't think I'm even going to worry about it. Some people will dis-agree, and most of them will have good reason, but I wanted to give you my experince with this for what it's worth.
RCA's might be a better option too, if you don't want to go with coilovers or air.
Here's pics of my car on 19's with the cut DF210's for reference.

Thanks Boys,
First i have to do some work on the fenders before they can run in the fender.
Second the antenna was up because the engine was running, you can see that in the picture of the rear.
Thurt i'm more thinking off buying a BCR set then cutting the springs i'm having more problems in the winter with screaping the ground with cutted springs.
And yes i drove it home after the photo shot.

Erick my man, you're doing it big in Europe! Thumbs up!!! 
BTW, you can weld the whole where oem antenna is or put a "thing" in there to cover it up, code paint it and you're golden. Check out my thread to see how I've done, maybe you'll like it.
If you like to listen to the radio you can install a little black antenna on the rear window, that works flawlessly, again I have it done on my car, check it out.
(snap I say check out my thread to much do I
))) )
Rims are hot!!! I like them very much and just love how your car turns out!
BTW, please don't cut your springs save up for coils, and raise your car when the winter comes and you would know what to do when it's hot outside! (Drop it like it's hot - even though this phrase is old and beaten up )
btw2, how's weather, I though almost all European/Scandinavian countries suffer from heavy snowfall, but on the pictures it looks bearable!
GL!

I listen to the radio every day so the antenna is gone stay were it is and when the engine is off the antenna is gone.
I also think the best way to go is with a BCr set so i can raise it in the winter.
The "snow" were the car is standing on is more ice then snow.
Still have to mount the mirrorcovers and the JDM visors that came in yesterday.
