Default rear shocks??? any OEM are shorter??

k as we know we can use 89 accords struts on the front bc they are about 2 inches shorter than the stock ones......
i even have those struts
but is there actually any other OEM honda car that has a rear shock that its shorter than our that we can also use in our cars the same way as in the fronts???
a friend of mines brought it up... i actually never payed a lot of atttention to my rear ones since they are still good and never give me a problem!

I have heard 88-91 wagons have shorter shocks in back. I have not personally confirmed this, though I heard it here on H-T from a source others seemed to trust. I am sure you could find a thread in the archives though, either EF or RR/AX forums, can't remember where I saw it.

pep boys has a book that list the measurements for all the struts.... compressed and open.
but i havent got chance to ask them.... plus the guys here are domestic dicks....
if someone has a hookup on pep boys have them check the book to see if any other honda has a shorter shock and then we check if they fit
