   With the cheaper version (GHA) they are inserts which fit inside the standard strut housing.
   You have to remove the standard spring platform though i believe.
   They will be shortened damper inserts compared to standard.

   you usually just convert the existing saxo struts into coilovers. which just means removing the bottom spring pan, and sliding on the adjustable threaded collar (then obviously the shorter damper and spring)
   
   unless you mean gaz golds in which case i dont know

   theyre shorter, but if youre talking thickness then no theyre the same, as they still need slide into the same hole as the standard
