apparently they were 15mm lower but i wouldnt be sure ,

but its the springs that lower the car , not the struts so if you have a 40mm gmax kit then it will lower your car 40mm , but using the struts of a gsi , it wont lower it and extra 15mm it will still only be 40mm

then id say that the shocks would have been the same aswell , think the springs would have just been a bit lower

your shocks should be ok with 40mm springs but they wont be properly matched , best bet would be to buy some uprated shocks really , kyb do direct replacement shocks which are a bit more stiffer then normal shocks for about the same price as a std shock
