Yes you can cut them...
But heat changes the lb/inch on the spring, it makes them weaker... so dont cut them with heat... use a hacksaw

Recommend a cutting wheel on an angle grinder. Plasme cutter can add too much heat messing with the tempering of the steel.

I say yes. Plasma doesn't generate all that much heat. It's not like any fuel torch, but if you have a plasma, you already know that. :D

I'd use a cut-off wheel.
