The threads have always been that long, great if you fit them with the spring off, but if you're fitting it with the strut assembled and might want to replace it at some stage then cutting off the excess thread means you can easily tighten or loosen the nut easily. With the thread the original length it can be very difficult as the spring coils get in the way
It's another bit of wonderful Rover design (not)
