Can I do the old school chopping off a loop with this type of spring? I see the top & bottom loops are smaller in diameter.

Nope. But, you could do the old school heating the springs up thing. It's not typically recommended, though.

The drop coils will be the plan, I was just hoping to go the "cheap route". To be honest, it wasn't until tonight I noticed the shape of the coils:dohh:

$99.99 is pretty cheap for drop coils.
