Default Short stroke shocks??? do they exist??

I have wondered this for some time but does anyone make a short stroke shock that is made specifically for a lowering spring?? In my experience even putting after market shocks on lowering springs helped a little but the shock is still compressed too much so does anyone know if there is a shock out there made to be like an inch or and inch and a half lower than stock...if someone could please help me out and let me know and if so what kind of price am I looking at....thanks in advance and sorry if this seems a bit retarded.

By the way this is not Jarin...this is his brother and I also do have an R....#886...she is a beauty.

Koni's are NOT. Tein, Cusco, Zeal and most all other Japanese shocks are.

Actually Koni Yellows CAN be, that is if you get them custom valved and let them know how much you want the stroke shortened by then I'm pretty sure they will also take care of that.

I believe that the Neuspeed version of the Koni Yellow's are a short-stroke shock.

well, the koni yellows in the front of my R are about 20mm shorter than the stock shocks. the piston length is shorter, NOT the body.

that's all i know . . .

The Mugen N1 dampers are pretty short. I have about 1.5" of droop on my rear suspension with them.
