I think the difference between us might be the upper tower on my car, where the shock mounts, is another 4 inches above where the top of the spring is perched out. It looks very similar to what C5GTO has in his pic above. I am not sure if that is a design that was consistent with all of the CR's made. Your setup definitely wouldn't work on my car. With the suspension unloaded My shock length is 14 inches and yours maxes out at 11.

Very different upper mount. Mine looks like this, though it has QA1 coilovers, of course:
