Default KYB AGX vs OEM struts for Ground Control

Im on Ground Control with OEM struts on my 5th gen right now. Im planing to get some AGX for my GCs.

Im worried about the O-ring( rubber rings that came with the GC package) from my OEM struts. Will it still be reusable when I slide them in in the AGX?

thanks!

If the rubber ring is beaten, is there any other way to make the sleeves in the strut stay in place and still isolate the noise? Any remedy to the situation without calling GC?

To those who doesn't know . The O-ring is that rubbber ring you slide inside the strut before you put in coilover sleeve. It helps the sleeve stay in place and isolates any metal to metal noise it can cause.

Is the geometry of most aftermarket struts the same as OEM struts? Or are some way fatter?
