You'll have to shave that "stopper thingy" all the way around.

Have you tried calling GC then to see if they have any advice? Remember that they make different kits to fit different types of struts, including the KYB GR2's. Not that the struts will work... but at least the kit will fit on them.

They may have since done some test fits or something on the AGX and might have some suggestions on how to do the install.

You should care because it's dangerous. Blown struts make you bounce and bouncing can make you lose control of the car.

So basically, what you're telling us is that you are the reason the general public hates modded cars and think we're all punks making the streets more dangerous for everyone to drive on.

Not cool at all.

If something is broken on your car that affects the safety of other people on the roads, you have a responsibility to either fix it or stay the hell off the roads.
