Default front strut ?

does any one have a pic of the front strut on a 5th gen sitting on the damper fork. i installed mine and the strut goes past the fork about 2 inches . is this ok or should it not pass the bottom of the fork thanks.

There should be a lip on the strut to stop it from going any farther. Also, I think the bottom of the strut rests on something. I would say this is normal.

KYB's have the brake line mounts and a little "T" tooth that fits in the back to stop it and align it properly
