You're correct. The nismo hatch actually came with longer springs. When I installed a nismo spoiler on my sport, my hatch had this problem. Thought I needed stronger struts. I bought heavy duty struts and had the same problem. I then pulled the springs off the nismo hatch I took the spoiler from and matched them up to the sport springs. They were a little longer. I installed them and it's worked perfect ever since.
