Ive cut fronts before on Vauxhalls but never rears.Didnt think it was possible due to them being pig-tailed.
Ive also done the heated up way on my Mk3 Astra Gsi.
60mm springs heated up and clamped in a vice.Worked well,sat perfect and the ride wasnt affected.I wouldnt do either to standard springs though.

To be honest people are saying it's only £60 like they use fifty quid notes to wipe their arses. It's a fair amount of money if you've not got a lot coming in.

Maybe you should just keep the -60mm springs til you can afford some lower springs and why do you need to be lower anyway? Go too low and you can spoil the handling, although Vauxhall's aren't known for their handling anyway.
