While stazi was doing the instal and I took one of the sleeves and slid it around the bottom of a removed oem strut to test the oem strut diameter.
It seemed the oem diameter was wider but still the sleeve fit fine.
Is your problem with the dustcap on the oem struts? I had that problem with the spax but the cap comes off with room for re-instal once the sleeves on

Hello!?
Unless you can say that the kit you bought is I-FUDGING-DENTICAL, then were aren't comparing apples to apples.
2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi
#1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55
AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70
Gutted pre-cats $80/set
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Well it must be the SVT struts that are the issue. Perhaps they are wider than Koni's, Spax, etc.

The tubes on my Konis were a smaller diameter than my stock SE struts. Is that what you're asking?
