My "R" has sport springs. When I replaced the shocks with Koni Sports, I compressed the spring to about 10" - much too much, but that left the star nut ample room to go all of the way down to the end of the threads. I do not know what the specific problem is with your strut, but the spring should not be able to move when unsprung.

If you want, I can measure the top of the strut shaft on my car, the portion that sticks up through the large bolt. They should be the same on both sides of the car.
