I dunno. If they're not the same, they should be. Let's say you ordered new struts from Company "A" to replace the ones on your car that are from Company "B". Say you've got aftermarket wheels and slightly larger aftermarket tires like you do. How pissed would you be if you went to put those struts on and they wouldn't fit because the spring seat is lower than it should be? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it would be awfully stupid for companies to mess with that distance on struts made for the same model car.
