I think Dimitrios has it right. Its just there for when the strut is decompressed fully there is still compression in the spring so it is not flopping around and becomes unseated. So you're full working spring travel is only the top spring.

It is not meant to work with the suspension, as soon as you get the car on its wheels it will be full coil binded, hope I helped you.
