That has a lot to do with spring perch placement, spring rate, and spring length.
Assuming we're using stock strut housings, people tend to weld the perch closer to the ears to achieve the lowest ride height possible.
Sure, maybe it'll be okay to mount the top mounting components (spring hat, camber plates, etc.) but people forget that the have to consider that there is a external bumpstop, the springs compress a bit when the car is on the ground, and the strut has a job when driving. Before you know it, you've already have eaten up a good amount of travel.
That being said there are ways to combat this: custom housings or cutting and extending the portion below the ears.
With custom housings, however, you may as well just get 86XX's.
