I have not noticed a difference in ride quality when cutting only 1 full coil. However you do run the possibility of hitting the control arm bumpstops if you cut too much. It all depends on your setup.

On my 2wd 72 blazer I am running a 2-1/2" drop spindle with 1" drop springs. It was not low enough so I cut 1 full coil. It does not ride any different than it did before I cut.
