stainless steel door strikers are they all the same?

Got a generic stainless steel door striker was wondering what the opinions are on these vs the OEM steel and if the more expensive ones from hawks are any more precise, I may have to use another washer to use these. Ive tried the hack of using the plastic cover from the rear seats and using them on the door strikers but my latches are in pretty good condition they still have all the plastic on them so the hack would rub while opening and closing

I have the hawks and they're about the same. Slightly shorter and slightly thicker. I added a 1/4 ss washer/spacer i found on ebay to make up for the shorter striker bolt. I prefer these over the OE part just for looks though, but they work great too.

by your pic it looks like your using only two washers, with the ones I posted I had to use 3 in total the stainless steel included and both my stock ones looking at pics of the hawks ones it appears there are two lengths

I think hawks only had one version when i got mine, some 8-9 years ago maybe. The captured washer it comes with and a 1/4 thick one, stainless.
