I wouldn't cut the adjustable sleeves. I would follow suit with ReSpeed and Ground Control, by cutting off the spring perch, and welding on a new one.
I have purchased a set of GC coilovers that came with S3 strut housings already modded. I have decided to make my own lower perch, and mod my current S2 strut housings. I'm only going this route due to the fact that my front rotors are brand new S2 rotors, and I don't want to purchase new S3 front rotors and bearings.
Besides, a freind of mine has a track car with SE suspension and similar coilovers. If he bends a strut housing, we'll already have spares that are modded.

An added advantage to fabricating a new spring perch, you can set it at the height you want, and have more adjustment room, compared to trimming the coilovers to fit the stock perch.
