Question Front coil springs... would they fit at rear ?

Have a spare pair of front suspension spring coils...

Are they useable to be adapted/fitted to the rear instead of the air bags ?
Am not after perfect height precision; what parts should I buy to lodge them in place ?
If too long, I would cut as needed.

When done... disabling the leveling compfuser... Just unplug compressor/sensors or dealer re-program is needed ?

It'll sit 3.5" below stock. I've got rears in my front and it gained me 3.5"

Thanks.
So ID and OD match but if I understood, stock fronts are too short to be used at rear ?

They're also a corkscrew design, they're not flat on the bottom

Correct, tangential end on the bottom instead of squared end.
