Mine is 2.5 feet. Not bragging, but it was a little long and hard to fit in such a tight space.

Are the strut bearing part numbers the same between DCC and non-DCC models?

FCP Euro website says that strut bearing rev E is what I need for my 2016 SE and that rev F will not fit. Is this accurate?

Revisions are all backwards compatible. I'd try to get the newest revision as possible.

I ordered the 5Q0-412-249 F strut bearing from a local dealer this past weekend, even though their parts catalog only had the 5Q0-412-249 E part number listed. The older E series part was what showed up today. Any reason why I should not use it?

If you have it already, install it. There isn't much if any real difference in the variations anyway.
