if you cut any coil out of a spring its gonna be one of the coils on the end of the spring, and those are the softer bits of the spring. cutting those out WILL affect spring rate, making it stiffer or "rougher" as you call it. i see that as a good thing, lowering a car takes away suspension travel and is corrected by stiffening the spring rates to prevent bottoming out.
