I'm with mikerj - we only need to look at coil springs fitted to mass produced cars to know what is correct.

I've not seen one like that, but that certainly looks as though it would work ok. Every car I have ever owned has had the last coil closely
would to provide a stable platform for the spring to seat against.
Note that you still have the issue of chopping springs leading to uncertain spring rates and ride heights.

my van failed its MOT for an incomplete rear spring - the end had snapped off, but i cant see how that is different to one cut off, so i imagine that
that too would fail.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.
