But you need to measure the spring wire size...
The lower spring perch has a slight shape to it. The very end of the last coil is designed to rest against a small stop in a bit of a depression. For the spring to rotate, it would have to rotate "uphill". This is not likely. If it did happen, the ride height would increase.

I'll probably put it up on a jack and take a look around, but, I'm not optimistic about it.
