A chopped spring will always be stiffer as you have shortened the effective length.
Think of it by unwinding the spring into a straight peiece of wire. The shorter you make it, the harder it is to get a set amount of twist.
As Norbs said, the stiffness of a coil is controlled by the no of coils, wire dia, temper, and material

Dude, if you (sorry your brother or cousin) can't afford lowered springs, then you can;t afford for your insurance company to not cover you if/when you have a crash, because tires, suspension and brakes are the three main safety components in EVERY car, therefore the first thing they will check in a 'modified' car.
if the truth hurts, put standard springs back in, I'm sure you can get them for free or bugger all in the trading post/ local newspaper.
