Default heater hose on front coil ?

ok so i installed bmrs one inch lowering a-arms and cut one coil off my stock springs in the front and it sat 25.5 inches on both sides now after a month of sitting in the garage the drivers side is still sitting nicely but the passenger fender is sitting on the tire

so.. i was wondering can i install the heater hose on the front coil and be safe as a temp fix till i get some front springs ?

Yes you can. This is a common fix for the S197 Mustangs when they see too much drop due to extra weight in the car. Just wrap it on the tightly stacked "dead coils" end. The hose will act as a spacer without affecting ride quality or spring rate.

Actually they will be the closely spaced coils at the bottom of the spring, where it sits on the shock.
