I would think the stock spring seat won't fit, so you'll need to press out the stock strut bearing from it and transfer the bearing over to the new coilover. If you can't push it out with your fingers, then try tapping on the outside race gently or a wooden hammer handle should do the trick. Then the nut (which I don't see in your diagram?) will go over the bearing before the rubber part (which fits around/over the strut bearing).
