Has anyone had to cut their struts

Yes, i said that right, your struts. I have a coil over kit off of ebay, and my stock and kyb agx struts have a lip on them that the coil overs can not fit on. I was wondering how many people run into this same problem and what do you do when you run into it?

For one of my stock struts i just hammered off the lip, VERY BAD IDEA, learnd that the hard way, then the next 3 i grinded it off. If you just got some kyb agx struts, would you try to grind it off to make it work?
