Don't touch them :)  Put in some OME struts, 40mm more travel then the stock struts and this is the limit of the front CV's unless you want to change them every few trips :)

The US Vitara model has a much taller upper strut mount. I've got pics in my webshots under suspension......http://community.webshots.com/photo/107940331/145071982RZIhBI.  There is a 1.5" difference between the Trackick and Vitara upper strut mounts.

I think what i may do is get a set of Vitra ones and cut the 3 puck flange off and weld them to the bottom of the OEM GV ones then burn the bushing out of the oem one so i can access the  bolt on the Vitra ones

Similar to that, I'll end out with the same configuration. However, I'll be using a 1/4" flat plate between the upper mounts. With the flat plate, I can 'adjust' the space between the mounts for better droop.
