I strongly suggest you do not cut the springs, all that coil wind is there for a reason.
Firstly with that amount of drop you'll need to source short stroke dampers if you can get them the springs will certainly be available.

I am assuming with all of these "slammed" civics, etc there must be shocks made for more lowered vehicles (adj konis?) ..the question is, i need to find a spring that drops the car...

I know it won't give you the precision of springs set to that height, but have you considered the little clamp on spring compressors? I had a friend who had them and they significantly dropped his car. I have to admit, the ride wasn't that bad either. He had done it as a temporary measure until he got the money for an Eibach kit.
