Those "dead coils" are actually helper springs in a coil over world. They are there to keep the springs seated when in decompression. Cutting them will lower the car, one spring coil diameter per coil cut, but don't cut past the last dead coil.
Either way, best to get the best springs for the job, not so easy on a cool old project like this.
EDIT: Subscribed sice the title was about "surf racks". Very nice job, "patina" is awesome, but in reality it's an item used for it's intended purpose. Wish I knew how many miles I have put on e30's, but the darned odometers are always broken :(
